Hello :D
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 (http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux/usb.html)
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.
dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/usr/lib/syslinux/bios/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdX

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

the plop boot manager is 16bit ;)

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