Hello, I guess , in this context in more a chainexecuting than chainloading. Right? In any way, syslinux-6.01 still broken for PXE using HTTP [#1] as I said in previous emails. I suggested to Tobias, in keeping our rock solid syslinux-4.06 package in repos, renamed to something like syslinux4 or syslinux-legacy, until syslinux-6 fixes this issue. So syslinux-6 can be moved out of [testing]. When syslinux-6 fixes PXE HTTP booting, I will start looking in syslinux-6.xx for EFI boot, and only if all things works in EFI will be implemented for archiso.
