In order to Create bootable syslinux USB on UEFI with Centos 8, I need some files from the syslinux-efi64 package.

The centos.org site says that such a package exists, but yum/dnf fails to install it:

dnf install syslinux-efi64
Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:04 ago on Sat 28 May 2022 06:18:38 PM +08.
No match for argument: syslinux-efi64
Error: Unable to find a match: syslinux-efi64

And dnf search says that "no matches were found".

I've searched a number of archive sites but also couldn't find an rpm to manually download and install...

Any advice?

After giving up on finding the syslinux-efi64 package I ended up compiling from source.

  • get source from kernel.org
  • compile with make bios efi32 efi64 installer
  • install to build machine with: sudo make install
  • copy EFI64 files (especially syslinux.efi) from /usr/share/syslinux/efi64
