@Carl, I'll repeat what I said in my prior email: you don't have to keep looking, we already achieved what you want (considering that you are willing to "disregard" the screen problems and similar issues, at least for now, according to your own emails). In short: 1_ Re-read my email from 2018Dec05: www.syslinux.org/archives/2018-December/026247.html where I posted

Here are some comments and questions for you. > I want to eufi boot this image: > http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz I am going to assume that by "boot this image" you don't mean something like memdisk or equivalent, but rather that you want to transfer that image using "dd" to your

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

> > _ target/EFI/BOOT/SYSLINUX.CFG > > I don't think that exists? (see list below) In our "first test" (simple boot prompt), we created "target/EFI/BOOT/SYSLINUX.CFG". In our "second test" we _added_ "target/EFI/BOOT/SYSLINUX/EFI64/SYSLX64.CFG". Part of my intention was to test whether it actually reaches one cfg or the other.
