Hi, all I can't boot from local drive on some machines(thinkpad x200 and thinkpad x1 carbon) using syslinux 3.05 or syslinux 4.05. And i change localboot 0xffff to localboot 0x80, boot from local drive is available. I find "0x80 is the primary hard drive. The special value -1(0xffff) causes ISOLINUX to report failure to the BIOS, which, on recent BIOSes, should mean that the next device in the boot sequence should be activated" on syslinux wiki. Isn't the syslinux and bios compatible, can I upgrade syslinux to use localboot 0xffff? Thanks!

I have tried "LOCALBOOT -1" , it still didn't work. ? 2014?02?25? 12:44, Gene Cumm ??:> On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 10:27 PM, ?? <lei.xia at cs2c.com.cn> wrote: >> Hi, all >> >> I can't boot from local drive on some machines(thinkpad x200 and >> thinkpad x1 carbon) using >> syslinux 3.05 or syslinux 4.05. >> >> And i change localboot 0xffff to localboot 0x80, boot from local drive >> is available. >> >> I find "0x80 is the primary hard drive.
