[syslinux] EFI booting over network - can't then load anything

[Andrew Rae]

Hi all..

Quick one if someone could show me a line out of their configuration for these two scenario's .

We're trying to do two things via EFI64 network boot & SYSLINUX:
* boot a CentOS 6.5 installation vmlinuz/initrd.img combination - machines just reboot after downloading the initrd.img.
* boot windows server 2012 r2 PE menu via bootmgfw.efi - unsure of the commands to 'chain' load another .efi file. Everything I've tried has failed.

Both of these work if I switch to GRUB2 - but we want to use SYSLINUX with EFI as we already use it with the older BIOS PXE booting.

I also tried to load hdt as a test - that seemed to hang machines too.

I've tried 6.02 and 6.03-pre13 (and a load in between) - all with no success. All this has been tried with and without a menu. All tried in VMWare workstation and with a couple of different physical machines.

Many Thanks
Andrew
