Hi,

OK. I build syslinux-6.02-pre6 from
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.02/syslinux-6.02-pre6.tar.gz
on a Debian jessie/sid system (with gnu-efi_3.0u+debian-2 from
experimental):

root at jessie: ~# cd /tmp
root at jessie:/tmp# wget
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/6.02/syslinux-6.02-pre6.tar.gz
root at jessie:/tmp# tar xfz syslinux-6.02-pre6.tar.gz
root at jessie:/tmp# cd syslinux-6.02-pre6
root at jessie:/tmp/syslinux-6.02-pre6# make bios &> ~/build.log
root at jessie:/tmp/syslinux-6.02-pre6# make install &> ~/install.log
root at jessie:/tmp/syslinux-6.02-pre6# cd /tmp/
root at jessie:/tmp# mkdir new-syslinux
root at jessie:/tmp# cd new-syslinux/
root at jessie:/tmp/new-syslinux# cp /usr/share/syslinux/*.c32 .
root at jessie:/tmp/new-syslinux# cp /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 .
root at jessie:/tmp/new-syslinux#

I transfered "new-syslinux" to my tftp-host (I replaced my working
syslinux-5.10 installation).

I rebooted a client (HP DL120 G7 system) and expected to see my
pxeboot menu like before, but nothing happen.

(This cfg was working, excepted the Memtest86+ part, with syslinux-5.10)
