What is there to gain by moving from UEFI firmware booting your OS, to using the same UEFI firmware to emulate a legacy BIOS in order to boot your OS? I suggest it would be better to find out what is wrong with your UEFI set up and fix that in the first instance, instead of jumping around without bottoming out the cause of any failure. > >There is a possibility VFAT partition got damaged. > > UEFI needs VFAT for the efi-partition. Yes, a UEFI MoBo needs a partition type of ESP 'EFI system partition' formatted in fat (12, 16, or 32). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] UEFI system - installing Grub without EFI
As long as your system is set to use legacy/bios mode instead of EFI then I don't see why not.

[gentoo-user] UEFI system - installing Grub without EFI
I was trying to check VFAT boot partition on my disk with Gparted but it failed. Root partition checked OK. Can I format the VFAT to EXT2 and install grub on it without EFI? There is a possibility VFAT partition got damaged.
