Hi all,

I have requested tests of this USB installer:
http://slint.fr/testing/slint64-14.1_syslinux.6.03.img
in both BIOS and UEFI modes.

A test in UEFI mode:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/%5Bann%5D-syslinux-6-03-has-been-released-4175521209/#post5270515
leaded to this message:

"Cannot relocate kernel, bailing out"

That leaded me to this post in the ML:
http://www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux-commits/2013-July/002381.html

The kernel in the image file being not relocatable. I'll replace it with 
one with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=Y to confirm the issue.

But meanwhile, is there some  other thing I can do, like moving the
kernel elsewhere in the image? Currently the tree is:
.
|-- EFI
| `-- BOOT
| |-- bootx64.efi
| |-- bzImage
| |-- f2.txt
| |-- initrd.img
| |-- ldlinux.c32
| |-- ldlinux.e64
| |-- ldlinux.sys
| |-- memtest
| |-- message.txt
| |-- setpkg
| |-- syslinux.cfg
| `-- ter-i16v.psf
|-- README_SLINT.TXT
`-- SLINT_DATE

TIA and best regards,
Didier
