Unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions on this
the tests I did on this tablet, and the bios does not support legacy mode; only efi/uefi.

OK I had this kind of working.
I was able to build a EFI GRUB partition with menu entries.
What I couldn't do was get the GRUB Menu entry to launch the OS.
So what I think I need to do is create 2 partitions.
1. an EFI boot partition with GRUB on it for EFI 64 bit
2. A Linux ext4 partition with the OS on it.
Somehow I need to get the boot to launch the OS.
My menu entries must be wrong so far.
I will post back with my progress.

It looks like to me the .zip files have all the files in them but the .iso files don't.
Can anyone confirm this for me?

After messing around a little more I got these messages.
Booting a command list
error: unknown filesystem.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

Looking at what it installed closer all that is on the flash drive is an EFI folder.
I think I mentioned that in a previous post.
Here is my boot partition.

Here is a menuentry from one of the OS's I have on the laptop.
Could something here give you an idea of what I need to change.

@HGT,
@maybl8,
When slitaz-rolling-core64.iso is copied to a USB flash drive via:
# dd if=slitaz-rolling-core64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
where /dev/sdb is the flash drive,
SliTaz can be booted in UEFI mode from that device.
With slitaz-current-core64.iso this does not work!
EFI/esp.img in that ISO is much smaller than that in rolling.
> Try slitaz-current-core64.iso with dd.
My bad !
Please try again:
slitaz-current.iso with dd.

@alanyih
I just copied the ISO image from
http://mirror1.slitaz.org/iso/current/slitaz-current-core64.iso
with [c]dd[/c] to an USB flash drive and booted from that on an UEFI system.
The result was a kernel panic after:
[c]Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6[/c]
[c]Please append a correct "root=" boot option[/c]
That file is from 2024-03-15, not 2024-03-14

Just tried the latest current-core64 on my uefi only laptop.
Still doesn't boot to it.
Maybe I don't understand your iso's.
There is no GRUB on here or system files. Looks just like efi files.
Am i missing something?

Hi maybl8,
ISO use isolinux for bios and EFI in case of EFI only.
/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz is used when grub4dos-linux is installed
Need more investigate to found why we have [c]Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6[/c]
I check if we could use grub2 for EFI boot on livecd/liveusb.
Offline
Hi maybl8,
After search think found why issue happen.
Infact for rolling we have linux-efi.u that patch efi-stub to use linux.cmdline when boot on uefi.
But this patch not work for linux 4.x / 5.x, i need to rewrite it.
Another solution is to have grub2 has loader on livecd/liveusb, can be implied increase iso size.

Hi maybl8,
Continue to search best way for boot in UEFI.
I check for patch kernel and also to use grub2-efi as bootloader.
Below test with grub2-efi bootx64.efi, i have grub prompt [try to load /efi/grub/grub.cfg], need check to add grub.cfg for directly load kernel/initrd
for [c]rw root=0x100 video=-32 autologin initrd=\EFI\BOOT\rootfs.gz[/c] i try to use cmdline inside kernel (no success)
In case i use this and load sucessfully.
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
linux /EFI/BOOT/vmlinuz root=/dev/null
initrd /EFI/BOOT/rootfs.gz
boot

This looks great.
Can I get an .iso to test on my sytem?

Hi maybl8,
Fight and deal with tazlito to found best way for add grub loader.
Seem find now, i gen base64, test it. let's me build core64 and test if ok with qemu efi also before push them on my space for you can test.

I was able to boot with the current-core64.iso
I got grub screen and it booted into slitaz.
I burned it to a flash drive and it worked.
My laptop is a hi res screen so font was very small.
I changed it to 1920x1080 so I could read it.
I had to do this all with keyboard because I had no touchpad.
Do you include touchpad drivers?
Also when I changed the resolution and saved it, it didn't save it.
When I rebooted I didn't have 1920x1080. It was 3840x2160.
But this is progress.
I am guessing file system installed is read only.
Offline
I can't see how to edit my post here so here is some more questions.
It appears as if slitaz runs in memory. That would be why it didn't save any changes to my flash drive. Is there a way to save the changes?
Also I am in USA. My keyboard for US isn't quite correct.
Example the letter 'a' comes out as 'q'.
Thanks

Hi Dan,
Yes, filesystem is read-only, it's same as cdrom, and load as ram.
I test on my pro laptop that only uefi (HP G7 Elitebook)
Infact touchpad not work 
.
We have already xorg-xf86-input-synaptics on core64, i check with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS running.
I see with xinput synaptics Touchpad, but driver used seem hid-multitouch, don't present in kernel config (not set), check to add this and test.
Concerning keyboard, that strange normally it's work.
Offline
My system is HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15
Maybe I selected the wrong keyboard on startup.
I just used the defaults.
I will be happy to test anything if you want me to.
My timezone is America/New_York
One more thing How do I get wifi to work?
