From my hunting around on the mailing list, there may have been a bunch of fixes that have been committed that have some bearing on uEFI, and even some on the mailing list that appear to be aimed at solving similar problems. However, I can't manage to build a new one based on the repository. Is there a newer-than-6.03 SYSLINUX64 EFI binary sitting around somewhere, or can someone point me to build directions?


None officially.

If those have difficulty, try:
https://sites.google.com/site/genecsyslinux/sl604p0g17-x64.tgz?attredirects=0&d=1

If you have difficulty with both, please report the following:

- Make/model of system
- UEFI firmware revision
- What NIC type and port number?
- UEFI extension agents (struggling to recall the proper term;
comparable to a BIOS PXE OROM for add-in cards)
- Was a proxyDHCP/PXE server involved in addition to DHCP?
- TFTP or HTTP transfer
- TFTP/HTTP on a unique server or on the DHCP server or proxyDHCP/PXE server?
- Where do the DHCP server, proxyDHCP/PXE server, and TFTP/HTTP server
live relative to the client and each other (ie different subnets)?
- What precisely did you observe?  On the screen?  booting behavior?
- Have you performed any packet captures, preferably an tap/packet
mirror capture?
