Hi, Didier Spaier: > I uploaded both ISO images on http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot A good opportunity to brag with xorriso's boot inspection features (since xorriso-1.3.8): xorriso -indev slint64-14.1-Thomas_mkisofs.iso \ -report_el_torito plain \ -report_system_area plain yields (block size is 2048): El Torito images : N Pltf B Emul Ld_...

HI, In http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot/ you'll find all context information. All files referenced here are stored there. Long story short: once dd-ed on an USB stick the ISO image can boot on a BIOS or EFI machine, but I want it to be able to boot on most x86_64 Macs with an EFI firmware. Unfortunately I get the error message: iso...

Hi, > Unfortunately I get the error message: > isohybrid: slint64-14.1.iso: unable to find mac efi image This is probably due to El Torito Platform id "Mac" in -eltorito-alt-boot -no-emul-boot -eltorito-platform Mac \ -eltorito-boot isolinux/macboot.img \ This caused in the image http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot/slint64-14.1.iso platform id 1 with the third image.

I'm going to get the hang of this mailing list eventually. Apologies for any duplicate emails.. >Ian Bannerman: >> While I did know the .exe variant was not official / untrusted, >Is there a special reason for this ? (Except the known bugs which affect Linux binaries, too.) Not really. I had never found a convincing source for it and had seen previous list entries like this

Hi, it comes to me that there is already an option which can be used to enforce a new Section Header before the entry which describes macboot.img. Option -eltorito-id can be used to set the Id String of the Section Header of the current boot image. efiboot.img is to be stored under the default Id String of 28 0-bytes. So a new Section Header will emerge, if macboot.img gets attributed a different Id String: ... -eltorito-alt-boot \...

...ts from CD only via platform id 1 (or 2). It could be tested without isohybrid. For the GPT and APM aspects, the El Torito platform id is of no significance. Nevertheless i advise Didier to simply try with 0xef rather than Mac. At least the ISO will then have MBR, GPT and APM entries for the file macboot.img. Have a nice day :) Thomas

There is a school of thought which emphasizes that partitions should not be nested (see the results of GRUB2's grub-mkrescue with EFI support). ------------------------------------------------------------ If you really rely on Apple Partition Map and macboot.img, then test this with all machines in reach. If there arise problems, then send me the first 64 kB of your image for inspection, or upload it as a whole and tell me where i can get it.

I've been using various versions of syslinux as the boot loader for the g4l project that I have been the maintainer of since 2004. It was already using syslinux, so I've just updated it over the years, and currently have it use 5.10 version, but have done test builds with the 6.x versions. Recently had request from to users about EFI support, and one suggested that virtualbox has

Hi, if I inspect an hybrid ISO with tools like fdisk and gdisk, then looks like hybrid ISO has both the MBR and GPT in order to support both the BIOS and UEFI: # gdisk -l /dev/sdb GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid MBR and GPT. Which do you want to use? 1 - MBR 2 - GPT 3 - Create blank GPT
