I posted this on the bugzilla page but I figured that on the mailing list it would get more attention.

If it complains about a kernel then it should be past El Torito or GPT. The job of xorriso is to point BIOS and EFI to their boot images. Everything else is in the scope of the boot images resp. the operating system that shall

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: isohybrid: slint64-14.1.iso: unable to find mac efi image The

At least the ISO will then have MBR, GPT and APM entries for the file macboot.img. I did that, and also tried the xorriso command you posted. I uploaded both ISO images on http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot resp. renamed: slint64-14.1-Thomas_mkisofs.iso

Hello everyone, I am maintaining a distribution loosely based on LFS and am now trying to add UEFI support. Integrating a FAT formatted partition image containing, preloader, gummiboot, kernel and initramfs correctly results in a ISO image that is bootable on BIOS and UEFI systems if booted from the optical drive. However, when I run isohybrid --uefi name-of.iso the resulting GPT entry for

I have been using syslinux-6.x along with isohybrid --mac and --efi option to create a usb hybrid iso with EFI support. The thing with EFI is that you'll need to use grub as your bootloader for EFI but isohybrid does setup the proper partition schema for EFI. You'll need to use the following to generate an iso that works. xorriso -as mkisofs -J -R -l -V some-vol-label \ -o ../image.iso

We been trying to boot the image in vbox using efi emulation but it complains about kernel not supporting handover. Anyways, I will take your advice and get back to you tomorrow. I think we might be getting close to a successful boot on Mac OSX hardware and any other UEFI capable hardware. Thanks for your help and tomorrow I should come with more data to debug. P.S the latest fedora ISO seems
