...achine with an UEFI firmware to try and see if the problem occurs only in a VM (and would be very grateful if a kind soul could do that for me). I used only official binaries taken directly from the source tarball, as shown in attached file. This file and the ISO image are also available in http://slint.fr/misc/testing In that file you can see: . the end of the script used to make the ISO image, . the tree of the ISO file, . the beginning of /EFI/BOOT/syslinux.cfg, . the output of "dumpet -h -i <filename>.iso" As you can see, I've put all needed file in /EFI/BOOT, also copied...

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

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 er...

...nd of message.txt posted by the OP differ from what I posted. I don't know why, but I don't think that changes the big picture. To answer a question from the OP: yes, all Slackware installers ship the lsblk command. This not too heavy ISO image also does, so you can use it for that: http://slint.fr/testing/fake_slackware64-14.2-2.iso To check its integrity: http://slint.fr/testing/fake_slackware64-14.2-2.iso.md5 Signatures: http://slint.fr/testing/fake_slackware64-14.2-2.iso.asc http://slint.fr/testing/fake_slackware64-14.2-2.iso.md5.asc My public key is attached. -------------- next p...

Gene, it looks like the syslinux master branch is broken since February [1]. Peter created the wip.makefixes branch but I wasn't able to get it working (yet) and it lacks activity since March. I think it might be time to revert commit 458a54133ecd ("Fix all warnings, and better separate code that should not be mixed") which broke master. Then apply at least the outstanding patch

...ns_f > or_uefi_and_elilo> I've seen this page a while age (of course... I'm a Slackware user) and now remember that I was a bit surprised because the kernel shipped in DVD installers for Slackware64-14.1 can boot on UEFI. By the way this is exactly same kernel that I shipped in the Slint USB installer that failed, and also with in the hybrid ISO images of the Slint installer, that ship an EFI bootloader built by Patrick Volkerding with grub-mkimage. So one more question: why can one boot with a GRUB EFI bootloader but not with the SYSLINUX bootloader, using the same kernel? More...
