4MLinux-37.1-64bit.iso can not boot in UEFI mode from CD/DVD
I download 4MLinux-37.1-64bit.iso and connect it directly to a VM(VMWARE), but it can not boot in UEFI mode from CD/DVD.
The ISO file doesn't contain eltorito entry for UEFI mode. I hope it can be fixed in the future release. |
Hi,
4MLinux should support UEFI on real machines. 4MLinux' UEFI also works well in Virtual Box, which is the only VM used occasionally by me. I do not use VMWARE at all, so I do not even try to make 4MLinux compatible with this VM. . |

So I burn the ISO file to an empty DVD and boot it in UEFI mode. It can not boot. For an ISO file, just put an EFI directory in the root is not enough for UEFI boot. The ISO file should add an eltorito entry for UEFI mode to make it compatible with UEFI mode. Most type of Linux distros(e.g. Debian/Redhat/Suse/Arch ...) are in such way. If you use mkisofs to create the ISO file, just add options like follows: Code:
mkisofs xxxxx -eltorito-alt-boot -e EFI/boot/efi.img |
Hi,
The eltorito option from your post has been used to create the 4MLinux ISO image for a long time. My guess is that the problem is related to the way how the isohybrid tool is applied by me. I promise to investigate this issue in the nearest future. Sorry for my late reply . |

I attach an isoboot tool and if you want you can use it to check the ISO file. Code:
mv isoboot.log isoboot Code:
[root@Host Test]# isoboot 4MLinux-37.1-64bit.iso |

I have been using Ventoy lately. It's really very good. Ventoy will be available as a downloadable extension in 4MLinux 39.0 STABLE. . |
