Package: extlinux
Version: 3:6.03+dfsg-10
Severity: important


Dear Maintainer,


I can't seem to get extlinux to boot from an xfs formated partition. 
I've built myself a little script to create a clean image (attached).
It works just fine if I use `mkfs.ext4` or `mkfs.btrfs` (i.e. it greets
me with a "boot:" prompt).  However, if I use `mkfs.xfs` I only get
"Missing OS".


The results stay the same when using a DOS partition table (and
mbr.bin) instead.  Only the error message when trying to boot from xfs
is slightly different:

  Failed to load ldlinux.c32
  Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.


The version in jessie is also affected by this problem.


Thank you
Lukas Schwaighofer

Closes: 803938
Changes:
 syslinux (3:6.04~git20171011.af7e95c3+dfsg1-1) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Import new version (upstream's current git state, prerelease of
     syslinux 6.04).
     - Booting from XFS now works in MBR partition schemes (Closes: #803938).
   * Remove gnu-efi from the source package so it's not used accidentally.
   * Drop patches included upstream:
     - 0005-load-linux-correct-type.patch
     - 0006-load-linux-protected-mode.patch
     - 0007-sysappend-fix-space-stripping.patch
     - 0008-Fix-gcc-5-ALIGN-causing-Boot-error.patch
     - 0010-fix-ftbfs-with-default-pie.patch
     - 0011-bios-Dont-try-to-guess-the-section-alignment.patch
     - 0012-ldlinux-Fix-return-pointer-to-local-data.patch
     - 0013-extlinux-pull-in-sys_sysmacros.h-for-major_minor_makedev.patch
     - 0016-btrfs-fix.patch
     - 0017-isohdpfx.S-correct-heads-sectors.patch
     - 0018-ext4-Fix-64bit-feature.patch
   * Update patches:
     - 0009-reproducible-build.patch: Drop parts that are included upstream.
     - 0004-gnu-efi.patch: Drop parts that have become unnecessary, because
       upstream checks for a .git directory before trying to update submodules.
   * Remove 0014_fix_ftbfs_no_dynamic_linker.patch which isn't required any
     longer.
   * Improve the extlinux man page (update 0003-extlinux-manpage.patch).
   * Refresh all patches.
   * Add special purpose and debugging MBRs to syslinux-common and isolinux
     packages.
   * Patch upstream changelog to include changes since 6.03.
   * Update debian/copyright as needed.
