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

My criticism towards this UEFI implementation is that it probably cannot serve as realistic test bed for the first stage of UEFI booting. It seems far too

I posted this on the bugzilla page but I figured that on the mailing list it would get more attention.

HI, In http://slint.fr/misc/MacBoot/ you'll find all context information. All files referenced here are stored there. Long story short: once dd-ed on an USB stick the ISO image can boot on a BIOS or EFI machine, but I want it to be able to boot on most x86_64 Macs with an EFI firmware. Unfortunately I get the error message: isohybrid: slint64-14.1.iso: unable to find mac efi image The

Hi, i'm possibly not the best source of general SYSLINUX knowledge, as my interest in it is only with my xorriso hat on. (As you can see in the SYSLINUX wiki, xorriso can do the isohybridization without the need for the isohybrid program.)

Precis: I?m trying to debug a problem with CentOS7 failing to install from an ISO written to a USB pendrive ? anyone got suggestions? What works ? installing on a modern, ?standard PC?; the pendrive image boots and installs as I expect What does not work ? same pendrive booting in an ATCA blade. What I?ve tried is? 1. Boot the standard CentOS7 minimal image. This seems to start but then

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.

Hi there, I failed to boot an installer in a VMware player (Version6.0.3 build-1895310) using syslinux 6.03, be it off an hybrid ISO image and an USB stick. Booting succeeds if the VM is set to use a BIOS firmware with both media, but fails using an efi firmware. Trying to boot off the ISO image I get an error message "The firmware encountered an unexpected exception" Trying to

I did the dd of the ISO to a 16G USB device. the second partition is FAT so I can edit it - I want to make a custom menu entry. I edited the grub.cfg - but that did not work - my menu option does not show. Then I think I need to change BOOT.cfg and generate the grub.cfg - but I dont know in this case how to generate for the USB device. What command do I use for that ? Thanks, Jerry

At least the ISO will then have MBR, GPT and APM entries for the file macboot.img. I did that, and also tried the xorriso command you posted.
