SYSLINUX with EFI - posted in The Syslinux Project: Hi, I am a newbie to Syslinux. I want to boot Linux 2.6 kernel on my board that has Intel core i7 with EFI support. So, I tried with creating a bootable pendrive with syslinux on it (steps as suggested in the Syslinux documentation). Boot - contains EN-US, Fonts, Isolinux, Syslinux folders and Boot.sdi, bootsect.exe, ETFSBoot.com, Memtest.exe and BCD files EFI - contains another BCD file and Fonts folder (not sure what this folder is for).
A variety of machines will happily boot a custom bzImage via PXE in legacy mode using syslinux. In UEFI mode, one of these machines and a newer UEFI only board get assigned an IP address, TFTP syslinx.efi from the server and then freeze. Now I'm not quite sure why the freeze. There are no further TFTP requests as seen when using pxelinux.0. Wireshark shows that the machine is sending the correct PXE/BOOTP extension for an x64 machine PXEClient:Arch:00007:UNDI:003016.
The syslinux.efi binary is x64 build from the 6.03 sources. Is syslinux.efi even the correct loader? Any thoughts welcomed.
Recently, I installed Windows 10 on my main machine - later discovered it demolished my whole Linux boot partition: sdb ├─sdb1 ext4 Root 07a703e4-173a-4e54-b425-baa69a220a64 / ├─sdb2 vfat 2C45-FE61 /boot ├─sdb3 ext4 Home 00477b16-d04d-4cc7-bb6b74d /home ├─sdb4 swap Swap 578c2f2d-1a07-4bae-a235-dbf52dae300f [SWAP] ├─sdb5 └─sdb6 ntfs Win_OS 420E63 /media/Win_OS I got Syslinux and my Arch working, but now I can't find a way to succesfully make a Syslinux entry to boot into the Windows. Though, If I choose 'Windows Boot Manager' from the MB boot menu, it boots just fine. My current syslinux.cfg: (well, part of it). LABEL Arch MENU LABEL Arch_64 LINUX./vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID=07a703e4-173a-4e54-b425-baa69a220a64 rw INITRD./initramfs-linux.img LABEL Win10 MENU LABEL Windows_10 COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd1 Edit 1#: I forgot to mention, I also installed a UEFI syslinux in the /EFI/ folder, alongside windows' Microsoft and Boot folders, which, again, works for Linux, but not for Windows - no matter if I use UUID, Label, disk and partition number.
