<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I changed the way how we create the
UEFI bootup. It should still work with syslinux4 in combination.
syslinux6 was used for BIOS only.<br>
So lets see if we can still boot with UEFI refind and syslinux4 in
legacy mode.<br>

<div>We can build some internals instead before we release
something to be tested by the public. When I'm done with
the kernels I upload syslinux4 and you can test after I
checked with manjaroiso. You might see some commits in
gitlab about it. Then there might be no need to push to
many RCs out ...<br>

syslinux6 supports EFI now. This is great news for a
graphical menu but currently it seems not to work
properly. We use a different system to boot UEFI and I
even don't know if that works at all. syslinux4 was only
used for BIOS so I revert any changes I did to adopt to
syslinux6 and we wait until there is a working way by
upstream (Arch) to use syslinux as the one livecd
bootloader for all cases ...<br>

<div>Well, it can only be this change. I don't
care to use syslinux4 for our live-medias.
It makes no sense at all to ship something
broken. It changed with RC1 so we can change
it back with RC3 and test it again. I still
hope we don't have to do a RC4 or so. Thus
gets only translations and small bugfixes. I
don't plan to add any new feature to it now.
Also Antergos just add some normal code to
Cnchi ... <br>

<div>I think it should simply
work. I might have to modify
manjaroiso once more to get
the old isolinux menu running.<br>
I adapted to syslinux
6-series. Lets see what is
needed for syslinux 4-series
to be restored ...<br>
Currently I'm compiling some
