Hello there,
I have the following issue: when using the syslinux prompt (By Caps Lock or Alt+Shift at boot), no matter which label I type it just boots the default.
My syslinux.cfg
DEFAULT arch
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0
LABEL arch
LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
INITRD ../intel-ucode.img,../initramfs-linux.img
APPEND root=/dev/sda1 rw resume=/dev/sda2
LABEL iso
LINUX memdisk
INITRD ../archlinux-2016.09.03-dual.iso
APPEND iso
LABEL hdt
COM32 hdt.c32
LABEL reboot
COM32 reboot.c32
LABEL poweroff
COM32 poweroff.c32
Does anyone have an idea?
Cheers

Just a hunch, what is the output of mount | grep boot ?

I don't have a separate boot partition, so there is no boot on mount output

Copy that
As an experiment, Try non-zero values for prompt and timeout. Do you get a multi-entry menu?

If I understand you well you have access to the syslinux prompt but it boot only the default (arch). Describe your installation. Are you using syslinux in BIOS mode (UEFI mode has limitation and your other entries might not work). Have you properly copied (or symlinked if you use the *same* filesystem) /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/* to /boot/syslinux. This is the default root for syslinux and it is there it will look for hdt.c32, etc.). As the previous post say put a long timeout. This can help you to debug problems.

Hi,
I am using BIOS, everythink symlinked. If I add
UI menu.c32
I can boot the other options. If I just have the boot prompt, though, it is as described...
