Syslinux - Dec 2014 - Syslinux 6.03 UEFI PXE Boot

Hi,

 

I installed Syslinux 6.03 on Windows 2008 R2 for PXE Boot.

Legacy Boot works fine. 

In UEFI PXE boot ( files taken from /efi64, syslinux.efi renamed to
bootmgfw.efi  ) the System boots up into menu correctly. In "default" 
I
configured to either boot efishell.64 or bootx64.efi (Windows PE). 

But I get following error if I select on to boot:

Invalid boot signature 0x00, bailing out...

Or

Invalid boot signature 0x0b, bailing out...

 

 

Regards

Hello Sascha,

deactivate secure boot or use a signed shim if you are using Redhat, Suse or
Ubunt (or use a signed bootloader from UEFI CA).

What exactly do you mean with "default"? Do you mean the default 
configuration file for the UEFI network bootloader? Or, instead, you 
mean the first-priority efi bootloader in your UEFI firmware?

BTW, syslinux.efi version 6.03 is not capable of chainloading to 
another efi bootloader. This feature might, perhaps, be available in 
future versions.

Ady.
