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

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 am looking for guides on how to create syslinux uefi bootable usb. A syslinux bootable usb is created already with vesamenu and luascripting. Want to set up the same thing to be UEFI compatible. In this case I am booting an vmware esxi installer. /EFI/boot on the vmware ISO has the files?BOOTX64.EFI and?BOOTIA32.EFI that can be used on the usb. But these always go directly to boot.cfg,

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

Hi, I have been using syslinux on my portable disk with success on many types of machines (both bios boot and EFI boot) I however hit a small issue recently If I use menu.c32, on some UEFI systems (HP) the menu does not appear after the vendor splash screen. The system however goes ahead and after the timeout configured in the menu system syslinux boots the kernel. I can then (after kernel

All, I have scoured the mailing list and the web and I can't seem to find any help on this issue. I am attempting to have EFI machines boot over PXE and then load various Linux Live distributions. I have a similar setup over standard BIOS machines and all is well on that end. First I have tried SysLinux 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 for various EFI enabled machines and thus far 6.1 gets me to the

Hello everyone, Since I have some some adventures in UEFI PXE booting ahead I tried to go with the latest syslinux development snapshot in this case 5.10pre1. But I already fail when booting from CD with Failed to load COM32 file .c32 I am a bit perplex since no name of COM32 files is given. I am trying to trace down the issue as good as I can. COM32 files present are:

Just tested with the latest VirtualBox and that works OK, so it's definitely something specific to ESXi 6.0.0 (it worked previously under 5.x ESXi versions).
