Hi, Line 762 of efi/main.c (git firmware branch) should be changed to if (hdr->version < 0x20b) { Without this change syslinux efi64 gives out "handover protocol unimplemented error" and fails to boot. With this change syslinux boots the kernels fine (tested with 3.6.9 and 3.7rc6 kernels). Please fix this. Thanks in advance. Regards. Keshav

Are you sure that 6.02-pre1 worked? There was only one commit between 6.02-pre1 and 6.02-pre2 and it shouldn't have affected anything at

Hi, background: I've managed to get EFI32, EFI64 and 'BIOS' modes all booting & working from the same TFTP/DHCP server using the setup described in message #10 here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589#10 I'm running this inside VMWare 9 - switching between x86 and x86_64 to check both EFI32 and EFI64, and then another non efi VM for bios. issue #1: I can

Gene, Where did you find the precompiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre7? Actually, I'm interested in the pre-compiled binaries for syslinux 6.03-pre6. I went out to kernel.org, but the latest they have is 6.02. Which appears to have an endian problem in its TFTP client code (when syslinux.efi tries to connect to the TFTP server, attempts to connect to UDP port 17664 instead of 69).

Hi all, wasnt sure whether this was the best place to put this information; but something seems to have gone 'backwards' in the later pre-releases of 6.03 regarding network booting. below are results of me testing - i did each a few times to make sure they are valid results. hope it helps identify something that's gone awry ? so far, 6.03 pre11 and pre13 (excluding efi32) seem most
