Hi! I am currently trying upgrade my bios pxe server with additional uefi support. My current using memtest86+ doesn't seem to support uefi, so I would have to use memtest86, as it supports this. But the memtest86 file itself is an *.efi file. When booting this one directly without syslinux, its working. But I want to launch it later from the syslinux menu. Can I chainload somehow another *.efi loader? Booting *.iso / memdisk seems not be available in syslinux uefi.. Conrad

I'm hoping this feature comes in the near future, so we can chainload into the Microsoft install environments from syslinux like we do currently in BIOS mode. Cheers Andrew
