I don't know for sure, but searching a bit, I've found 2 references to syslinux : You will need to have at least the following packages installed in order to build iPXE: [...] - syslinux (for isolinux, needed only for building .iso images) [...] See page : https://ipxe.org/download?s[]=syslinux And : To be able to boot memtest, there are a couple requirements: [...] The memdisk kernel from the syslinux library [...] See page : https://ipxe.org/appnote/memtest?s[]=syslinux So maybe add a comment somewhere explaining that those 2 things won't work on any arch != x86_* Maybe just add that to the commitmsg...
