Quote: "Protocol 2.12: (Kernel 3.8) Added the xloadflags field and extension fields to struct boot_params for loading bzImage and ramdisk above 4G in 64bit." Question for (kernel) developers: Could APPENDing the "add_efi_memmap" kernel option be involved in allowing the whole RAM to be seen by a 32-bit PAE kernel (booted by syslinux.efi X64)?

Syslinux 6.03, kernel not relocatable.
Hi all, I have requested tests of this USB installer: http://slint.fr/testing/slint64-14.1_syslinux.6.03.img in both BIOS and UEFI modes. A test in UEFI mode: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bann%5D-syslinux-6-03-has-been-released-4175521209/#post5270515 leaded to this message: "Cannot relocate kernel, bailing out" That leaded me to this post in the ML:
