awesome thank you very much!
oh, because I'm uncertain of the upload can you see if there is a sgd (super grub2 disk) in /boot/grub?
I meant to include this and did on latest iso https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...em-4175657567/
I wonder if sgd can be accessed thru isolinux/syslinux menu?
This is all that is in /boot/grub: bootlogo.png fonts grub.cfg grubenv i386-pc locale themes x86_64-efi. In /boot:bootinst.bat extlinux.x64 hdkernel mbr.bin syslinux vmlinuz
bootinst.sh grub initrfs.img plpbt syslinux.com
extlinux.x32 grub.exe isolinux pxelinux.0 syslinux.exe
when you used syslinux was it from a slackware install or other?
I wish I could figure out how to make roninos and slacker boot from iso via grub like the GRML isos using loop you know but so far no dice on any iso, isohybrid, isohybrid -u and when I try try to make a grub iso using grub-mkrescue it says missing something grub_strncpy and shows a grub command line, when I copy iso contents to usb fat32 or ext4 and install grub it works fine...
I want to make a all-in-one iso dd, cp, copy to fat32/ext4 usb, efi, loop boot from iso, etc
so far I've got grub, isolinux, syslinux, extlinux, efi now working
oh very important, when you booted in efi mode did it boot kernel/initrd from /EFI/BOOT or /boot ??
when you used syslinux was it from a slackware install or other?
Regardless of distro for me it is hit and miss on getting syslinux to work. I never really took the time to learn the ins and outs of syslinux, as I prefer grub2 as it more versatle in my opinion

It is using the /EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg file loads kernel/initrd from /boot the best I can tell.

thanks!
I just discovered how to boot iso from hard drive/usb using grub2 loop like GRML without extracting iso
I'll hit you up in morning with slackerc post on how I got it working
