Package: syslinux-efi Version: 6.03+dfsg-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation? + I am trying to install wheezy on a few machines using syslinux and EFI and booting the debian-wheezy-kernel reboots the machines. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? + I installed copies of syslinux 6.03, syslinux 6.01 and the debian-package syslinux-efi on my tftp-server. With all three setups I tried booting the wheezy-kernel and the jessie-kernel. * What was the outcome of this action? + syslinux 6.01 will boot both kernels, syslinux 6.03 and syslinux-efi from jessie will only boot a jessie-kernel, the wheezy-kernel leads to a reboot on both vmware virtual machines and real physical hardware. * What outcome did you expect instead? + I expected both kernels to boot. More information: I submitted this issue to the syslinux-ml and got http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-December/022905.html as an answer. As I don't quite know what to make of this answer (and whether the kernel should work because it is relocatable and has the stub enabled) I think this should be noted as a known issue and a workaround (e.g. booting syslinux to boot efi-grub to boot the kernel) should be included in the docs. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Regards, Hardy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
