Hello all, We're having the following issue: when in UEFI mode, any output/errors from a lua script is invisible! This occurs even just running 'lua -v'. It runs and returns to a (visible) 'boot:' prompt, but there is simply no output visible from lua! (It does do a linefeed, but no visible text appears.) Has anyone encountered this? And/or know of a solution? For

I just created something very similar for one of my own projects. I have a disk image that you can "dd" onto a hard drive or USB drive and a bash script demonstrating how it was done here: https://www.syslinux.org/archives/2019-July/026476.html You don't actually need the patch for the dual BIOS/UEFI support. The patch in the above link is just to enable the reading of config

I'm not sure if it is useful, but with the advent of UEFI only machines, we've run into a similar problem w/ out custom CentOS 7 USB installation keys. Basically, we create a gpt device w/ a single FAT16 partition (this would be your /boot partition for a full installation) containing an EFI/BOOT/ directory with the syslinux-efi files and a SYSLINUX/ directory with the syslinux-bios

Hello Greg, thanks a lot - I will try out your script next week. I jut went through the script - there is a line containing: bls1 include I would carefully assume that this line is only valid when patching syslinux, correct? What will happen if this is read by a non-patched syslinux? Will it cause errors or will it simply be ignored? Best regards, Erik Gregory Bartholomew wrote: > I just

Hi all, We're using the classic boot BIOS syslinux successfully for many years, but meanwhile it's getting harder to buy hardware the still supports this boot mode. The option for us would be syslinux EFI boot. To avoid too many changes we would like to generate an image for our different hardware parts that supports both - classic BIOS boot and (U)EFI boot. This would allow us to leave
