However, after the update of efi roms in qemu, the original problem of booting syslinux in OVMF still persists. I received several private messages asking whenever I succeeded in resolving the original prob outlined at http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-November/022804.html and I always referred to this thread, until someone told me that the update does not fix the issue. Now I verified it locally, and no, I still can't use syslinux with OVMF with qemu efi roms, getting exactly the same output as I've seen on Nov-2014. As you checked, grub loads, but apparently syslinux still doesn't. Is it a different issue perhaps? Thanks, /mjt
