An ESP on BIOS is perhaps weird when making so much of this booting and startup stuff user facing; but it's actually integrated in the Matthew Garrett derivative of the BootLoaderSpec and is used as $BOOT. In ancient times, there were some BIOS firmware floating about that would face plant on encountering GPT, we tried it by default and it caused too many problems and had to be reverted but that was long enough ago it's possible such hardware is quite rare. OK anyway, I don't see broad BLS consensus forming yet, but I do see two items that aren't controversial and could move forward as part of this feature proposal: a. Consistent $BOOT/loader/entries for UEFI and BIOS where $BOOT is the ESP on UEFI, and $BOOT is "other" on BIOS (most likely the existing /boot ext4 volume currently used). i.e. do not put /loader/entries in /EFI/fedora b. If GPT, installer always creates both EF02 and EF00 partitions. For creating VM images, I think it's sane if the anaconda inst.gpt option is always used to make sure the image is created with GPT partitioning, thereby making sure they get EF02 and EF00. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/2PVYRSMT5ZVR63UM6MMWH4XBLMO3CQ7O/
