Thank you for your answer. I need to correct some information from my previous post: booting from `/` did not work either. I just assumed it did based on previous experience. But with that successful build on development branch, it did not either. > I would suggest trying first the official binaries that are already > included in the official distribution archive (6.03-pre1).

Actually firmware cannot find any UEFI specified booting starting points in an ISO 9660 filesystem that was created with mkisofs -b and -hard-disk-boot, but without a boot image which was marked as EFI System Partition.

when you say """ Unfortunately, syslinux.efi v.6.03 is not capable of booting optical """, you talk about isolinux.bin ? because my iso image with a "good" alternate eltorito boot image (eg. "uefi ready") is booting with qemu (qemu -cdrom core.iso -bios uefi.fd) and is also booting in hard disk mode (qemu -hda core.iso -bios uefi.fd). Le mercredi

I've been the maintainer of the G4L project since 2004, and have had great success using syslinux, but yesterday I ran into a machine that would not boot from the CD. The system system was a Lenovo L540 notebook, and it seems to use EFI? Disabled the Secure EFI, but it still would not boot. Comes up with the syslinux menu and seems to load the kernel, but then it just stops. Never shows
