If they are useful, then one should note where they can be found and how to extract them for anyone not using a Debian-based distro. Saying just that they are in the Debian Testing repo, doesn't mean much to a non-Debian-er...

We've been successfully installing Linux using pxelinux to bootstrap our Linux (CentOS) installs for many years, but we are about to take delivery of hardware that doesn't have legacy BIOS boot support for internal drives - so I'm making my first foray into the world of EFI - and can _almost_ get it all to work, but hit an issue that I'm not sure how to 'fix' ...

Do note that not everyone is running a Debian based system, so "the current Debian Testing binary packages" are worthless to us.

Thanks for the hints - I have NOT CONFIG_EFI enabled - do I need this actually? I do not know which variables I need to boot... The kernel APPEND parameters are sufficient for me... And the relocatable config is set already. .. I enabled the EFI kernel config parts - no change... the console prints: Booting System... Loading linux... ok Loading iramfs.gz...ok [then reboot] My syslinux.cfg is

Hi good day, can anybody please assist me to get PXE booting with syslinux, and EFI systems. PXE EFI Architecture-7 (64bit)? What I have tried: 1) Syslinux 6.03 -> Looks like a bug -> does not work because syslinux.efi tries to download ldlinux.e64 but from the DHCP server, in stead of the PXE boot server (the server that provided "option 60" and the boot file

Hi, We have been using isolinux 3.75 for a while now, to support pxelinux and UEFI we were going to update to 6.03, but seeing 6.04 has but fixes, decided to go with 6.04-pre3. First, is that about read for a "make official' ? Second, I did have to modify gnu-efi/inc/efilinks.h for the build to complete (had to remove the (intptr_t) which doesn't belong in EFI/EDK). So I've

Hello, So I'm running syslinux.efi Which loads menu.c32 Which is supposed to start ESXi's bootx64.efi/mboot.efi But that gives """ Loading mboot.efi... ok Invalid Boot signature 0x2, bailing out Booting kernel failed: Bad file number """ Secure boot is disabled. Thoughts? The reason why it would be nice using PXE and syslinux here is because we have

Hey, I am running a custom-built router (based on a PCengines apu2c4 board, see https://github.com/rtr7/router7 for details) on which I am using PXE boot for recovery purposes, i.e. reverting to an older version of the software/configuration. In this scenario, my workstation acts as the DHCP, TFTP and HTTP server, and my router PXE boots into a recovery program. I have noticed a couple of times
