Plop in UEFI Mode

[kry07]

Hello
Yesterday and today i was trying to get my USB to boot efi and mbr.

how to boot efi64
make a bootable FAT32 (LBA) Partition -> like in http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/usb.html

Code Select Expand


cp -rva /path_to/ploplinux-4.2.2/* /path_to/usb
cp -vi /usr/lib/syslinux/efi64/* /path_to/usb/syslinux/
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdX -p 1 -l \\syslinux\\syslinux.efi -L "Plop efi64"

done

Now i can see plop menu, but i cant run anything...
-? Is it because the plop binarys are 32bit
-? Is there a possibility to make a efi32 and efi64 usb

if you dont have lilo installed, this can help.

hello,

Now i can see plop menu, but i cant run anything...

do you mean the syslinux entry or the plop boot manager menu?

-? Is it because the plop binarys are 32bit

the plop boot manager is 16bit

-? Is there a possibility to make a efi32 and efi64 usb

see section boot manager: http://www.plop.at/en/plans.html

I meant the syslinux entry -
It would be awesome to get also plop to run under efi.
Where can i find the source code - i don't understand why its not working ...
i would like to try and maybe i can get it to work

its not working, because the boot manager is absolutely not compatible to uefi.
