...oot SYSLINUX via UEFI from CD-ROM. I could now make a little list of candidates for isohybrid --uefi: - FAT images with GRUB2, e.g. by mkimage (Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23.iso : /images/efiboot.img , 5 MB debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso : /boot/grub/efi.img , 400 KB) - FAT images with goofiboot (slint64-current-goofiboot-1.4.0.iso : /efi.img , 64 MB) - plain Linux kernel blob (slint64-current-efi-stub.iso : /efi.img , 63 MB) Question to Didier: Is the plain Linux kernel booted via EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL after the Boot manager failed with the attempt to apply EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTE...

But i cannot find an example in my ISOs collection. It may be i confused this with goofiboot equipped slint*.iso images. In my collection there is also slint64-current-efi-stub.iso but this seems to boot by a single blob /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI of 62 MB. Didier ? Can you help my fading memory ? Have a nice day :) Thomas

GRUB2 can hop out of the FAT filesystem on its own and make use of all files stored in there.

It would be helpful for a neutral description in the isohybrid wiki if it was not only GRUB2 that can be shown as tested. Have a nice day :) Thomas

I would be willing to try such an ISO with qemu+OVMF. Regrettably my real test iron has no EFI firmware. Do you know the

I've been the maintainer of the G4L project since 2004, and have had great success using syslinux, but yesterday I ran into a machine that would not boot from the CD. The system system was a Lenovo L540 notebook, and it seems to use EFI? Disabled the Secure EFI, but it still would not boot. Comes up with the syslinux menu and seems to load the kernel, but then it just stops. Never shows
