Hi,


I have browsed through your syslinux archives and see that the issue of an UEFI compliant version of the pxechn-module has come up several times:

Now the issue as I understand it is that the original pxechn-module has been written to interface with legacy BIOS and not UEFI. It also seems that Patricks update as of March 2015 gave positive indications that a general fix for com32-modules were possible.


It would have been nice to receive some update on both com32-module compliance for the UEFI architecture as well as for the pxechn-module in specific. We have a setup at my workplace that are dependant upon this working and right now the only solution is to use legacy BIOS PXE-boot.


Is there any fix for this in the recently mentioned 6.04 pre-release (soon to become release?)?


Best regards,
