Description DJ Dunn 2015-06-29 13:24:04 UTC

Ok, so I compiled syslinux with the -custom-cflags, and i copied the files from /usr/share/syslinux/efi64 that I needed, but when i go to boot the new syslinux.efi it doesn't work, i dont get any error messages i just get a blinking curser for a few seconds then UEFI attempts the next device.

Reproducible: Always

What version of syslinux?

Comment 2 DJ Dunn 2015-06-30 21:58:15 UTC

Oh sorry 6.03 version

Comment 3 Martin Zimmermann 2016-01-29 00:25:12 UTC

Please try again with:

env CFLAGS="-march=x86_64" CPPFLAGS="$CFLAGS" emerge -1 syslinux

This worked for me, my previous compiler flags were too aggressive (-march=native on Haswell).

If you still see this problem with syslinux-6.04_pre1, please provide "emerge --info" output and reopen this bug. Do you use ld.gold (bug 563364)?
