So I have syslinux booting off of my windows server (pxe) and I want to have the option of booting to my boot partition that has refind.
Recently, I installed Windows 10 on my main machine - later discovered it demolished my whole Linux boot partition: sdb ├─sdb1 ext4 Root 07a703e4-173a-4e54-b425-baa69a220a64 / ├─sdb2 vfat 2C45-FE61 /boot ├─sdb3 ext4 Home 00477b16-d04d-4cc7-bb6b74d /home ├─sdb4 swap Swap 578c2f2d-1a07-4bae-a235-dbf52dae300f [SWAP] ├─sdb5 └─sdb6 ntfs Win_OS 420E63 /media/Win_OS I got Syslinux and my Arch working, but now I can't find a way to succesfully make a Syslinux entry to boot into the Windows. Though, If I choose 'Windows Boot Manager' from the MB boot menu, it boots just fine. My current syslinux.cfg: (well, part of it). Songs of bohemia.
LABEL Arch MENU LABEL Arch_64 LINUX./vmlinuz-linux APPEND root=UUID=07a703e4-173a-4e54-b425-baa69a220a64 rw INITRD./initramfs-linux.img LABEL Win10 MENU LABEL Windows_10 COM32 chain.c32 APPEND hd1 Edit 1#: I forgot to mention, I also installed a UEFI syslinux in the /EFI/ folder, alongside windows' Microsoft and Boot folders, which, again, works for Linux, but not for Windows - no matter if I use UUID, Label, disk and partition number.
Hi, I am a newbie to Syslinux. I want to boot Linux 2.6 kernel on my board that has Intel core i7 with EFI support. So, I tried with creating a bootable pendrive with syslinux on it (steps as suggested in the Syslinux documentation). Although it worked with my older machine (i386), it is not working with my new board.
I want to have some clue on the following: - Does SYSLINUX support I7 Sandy bridge? - Does SYSLINUX supports EFI? If so how to install it. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Does it have any controls to manage the BOOT ORDER.i.e. What happens when you put a bootable CD/DVD into the machine? EFI shouldn't make a difference, but if there is any sort of an option to select boot order when booting (like from the BIOS a prompt to hit F12 or some other key), try that too.
Bottom line, make sure it can boot from NOT the main hard drive, then go from there. Hi, I am a newbie to Syslinux.

Right now, Syslinux is a BIOS-based boot-loader. Efforts are underway to make a Syslinux.EFI module for use with [U]EFI-based (non-BIOS-based) computers.
If you join the Syslinux mailing-list, you can watch the progress. Many [U]EFI systems have a 'BIOS mode' where they can boot in a 'legacy' or 'BIOS-emulation' mode.
If you can do that, then you might have some better luck. Perhaps you could share the computer model and someone might be able to share their experience.

However, it is not able to boot from the pendrive on which SYSLINUX 4.02 is installed. However, the same pendrive works fine on other i386 machine. Is it that, there is some set-up/configuration required to boot Syslinux on an efi based board?? Foison c24 drivers.
