Hello! I've been attempting to add EFI support to a linux live distro (slax), it's built on a syslinux bootloader. I can get EFI to work using menu.c32 on syslinux 6.03; however ideally we'd like the VESA menu as well. When we use the vesamenu.c32 and libcom32.c32 from 6.03 we end up with a blank screen and the machine seems to hang. I've tried adding MENU RESOLUTION based on

I've have my scripts to a better state, including installing/using qemu to uefi and legacy boot the usb stick for testing. It mostly works for me, but the "wget a tarball of binaries" step isn't going to sit well with

works with legacy, hangs with efi. where works is: No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! but enter and ^v make things happen hangs is: nothing happens, no response from keyboard, have to reboot. note: config prompt.cfg prompt.cfg does not exist, but I would expect similar behaviour between efi and legacy. test is: starting with blank image, mkfs, mount it... + cp

Dear Syslinux developers, I'd like to continue the discussion about this: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-February/021659.html i.e. different directories for *.c32 files of BIOS, EFI32, and EFI64. I am wondering why we can not have *.c32 for the COMBOOT files of BIOS, *.e32 for the COMBOOT files of EFI32 *.e64 for the COMBOOT files of EFI64 As now the ldlinux file of syslinux 6.0x has,

Under EFI/BOOT are the following files: BOOTIA32.EFI (from efi32/efi/syslinux.efi) BOOTX64.EFI (from efi64/efi/syslinux.efi) ldlinux.sys (copied from root of partition) lua.c32 mboot.c32 menu.c32 syslinux.cfg vesamenu.c32 KS.CFG (vmware specific) BOOT.CFG (vmware specific) autoselect.lua These files are also all under the root of the partition (except BOOTIA32.EFI and BOOTX64.EFI) and work fine

I want to eufi boot this image: http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz there is a bug against it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=913523 I'd like to fix the resulting usb stick for my use, and also fix it in a way that can be used to fix the upstream bug.

Hi, I am trying to get a UEFI bootable USB. And I am unable to make it working. I have two x86_64 systems and both of them 'hangs' when I choose to boot UEFI from USB. I've created fat32 formated partition with ef00 type. I placed EFI/BOOT there with content of efi64/ distribution, I've created syslinux.cfg and renamed syslinux.efi to BOOTX64.EFI. However, it does just
