Quick way to check boot mode (UEFI or BIOS)

# test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo UEFI || echo BIOS

On my system output is

# test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo UEFI || echo BIOS

BIOS


If output is

UEFI

This bug will impact you.


The default boot setting on CentOS 7/8 is BIOS. So if you haven't changed that you should be okay.

Is your VM emulating "UEFI Secure Boot" or is it in BIOS emulation mode?  The bug only impacts UEFI Secure Boot on CentOS, but oddly for the Debian/Ubuntu users it's impacting them if they are in BIOS mode.
