Hello again,
I just buy a wonderfull HP ENVY23 smartscreen.
It has:
- Windows 8 (I'd like to keep it)
- GPT Formated disk (2T)
- UEFI
- SecureBoot
I am trying to install a Mageia on it:
I disabled secure boot.
I succeed to boot using PXE (using legacy boot) and to install mageia2,
but it failed to boot on Mageia using legacy boot.
Do you know how it fails?
So questions:
- is it possible to boot Mageia using legacy boot on GPT disk ?
Yes (using grub, not lilo)
- is it possible to boot Mageia using UEFI ?
I think so but I have never tried. I remember someone reporting success.
The grub2-efi package in Cauldron has a README.efi file that may be
useful. (Note efibootmgr package referred to is also in Cauldron)
The author of that README file has been using Mageia with grub2-efi on a
Mac for some time now.
