Thanks. I've now tested this on a 64-bit EFI system myself: x86_64 kernel build: - Boots successfully - x86_efi_facilities = 0x3f - efifb works - efivars can be loaded and creates /sys/firmware/efi/vars i386 kernel build: - Boots as far as an initramfs shell, but the machine doesn't have an i386 installation to continue with - x86_efi_facilities = 0x21 - efifb works - efivars can be loaded but does nothing All of which I think is correct.
