similar to: How do I create a syslinux bootable GPT UEFI Linux disk?

Hi I just tried to implement gpt extlinux booting in my archboot project. extlinux installs fine but i'm not able to boot the hd afterwards. Setting partition to boot on in parted doesn't seem to have an effect in GPT mode. Is there any way to get it booting, i haven't found any docu about it. Thanks in advance greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package

Hi all, I was using grub2 for booting Archlinux x86_64 in my GPT Internal HDD (/dev/sda) then I switched to syslinux/extlinux. It was working fine but suddenly it staring showing "Boot Error" message on screen. I googled for a solution and tried all syslinux versions from 4.04-pre4 down to 4.03-stable but non of them worked. I don't know what suddenly changed caused this

Hi list, I'm new with UEFI and GPT. For several years I've used MBR partition table. I've installed my system on software raid1 (mdadm) using md0(sda1,sdb1) for swap, md1(sda2, sdb2) for /, md2 (sda3,sdb3) for /home. From several how-to concerning raid1 installation, I must put each partition on a different md devices. I've asked times ago if it's more correct create the

I'm trying to make a drive that can boot with both UEFI and BIOS. I've built the drive successfully on my Linux machine, but can't get the drive to build with my Windows machine. The only step that's different right now, is that I use `extlinux --install /media/drive` to install with Linux, and `syslinux.exe --install d:` to install with Windows. In fact, I can prepare a drive with

Hi messmer, seems that anaconda supports partitioned RAID devices. Disk selection see one mdraid device and permits to create partition on it.

I have used syslinux 4.0x and earlier for many years, with Puppy Linux and more recently Quirky Linux. Though, my knowledge of all the capabilities of syslinux remains rudimentary. I am new to UEFI. I recently got my hands on a win8.1 laptop, 64-bit system, and decided to tackle booting Quirky on it, from a USB stick. I turned off Secure Boot. I wrote /usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin to the flash

Greetings - The short story is that got my new install completed with the partitioning I wanted and using software raid, but after a reboot I ended up with a grub prompt, and do not appear to have a grub.cfg file. So here is a little history of how I got here, because I know in order for anyone to help me they would subsequently ask for this information. So this post is a little long, but

Yes. This would make us independent from the BIOS boot mode. > Or, is this for a portable (USB) device? Maybe - would be nice

We have been using syslinux (V4.05) in our product for years without a problem. Since we encounter more and more systems that do a UEFI boot by default we want to support that too. So I've been using syslinux V6.03 to create usb sticks and harddisks to allow both bios and uefi boot which works fine. The problem I run into now is that it is not possible to create a dvd that is capable of

Hi, attached there are few patches to implement a way to get the label of GPT partitions (refactoring an existing function and adding a new daemon API) and using it in virt-resize to restore them when copying partitions. Thanks, Pino Toscano (3): daemon: parted: refactor sgdisk info parsing code New API: part-get-name (RHBZ#593511). resize: preserve GPT partition names (RHBZ#1060404).

part-expand-gpt takes extreme cautions and doesn't proceed to writing to the disk if the preliminary dry run of sgdisk has generated any warnings on stdout. This blocks the use of part-expand-gpt on disk shrink (with disk resize being the main usecase for part-expand-gpt), because sgdisk dry run produces a warning in that case. So remove the excessive safety check, and leave it up to the

I'm not saying for certain these are the reasons for such dependencies, but they might (and perhaps

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,
