Hi Thomas, I do not like it, indeed I denied some past requests in our bugtracker, because was a extreme corner case. But seems to be more common these days, so lets bring a opportunity. I want to first try syslinux since is the "natural" choice for ArchISO, but actually does not work, and I opened a ticket in syslinux bugtracker [#1] "[Bug 75] [EFI-32] booting "mixed" (x86_64) Linux 4.9/4.10 hang/reset (4.4 is OK)" efilinux is not updated since long time, who knows if build with current gnu-efi. The last last last... option will be grub if a found a simple way to use it. [#1] https://bugzilla.syslinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75
