[Bug 1025555] Re: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers
This is NOT A BUG IN UBIQUITY. A 32-bit UEFI-only machine cannot *boot* any of the existing install media, which has nothing to do with the installer.

It should look for a FAT32 partition (with a boot flag), AKA an EFI partition, mount it, and check for any EFI files. If efi-exists, then un-mount it, install grub-efi in the target system, and add a line in FStab for the efi-partition. If no efi files are found, or if there is no EFI partition, install grub-pc. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102 Title: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Instead, it is a bug in grub-efi. However, since grub-efi-ia32 and grub- efi are binary packages, then this has to be marked as affecting grub2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102 Title: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1025555] Re: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers
WARNING I have only tested this when booting only ubuntu. Dual-booting has not been tested by this. If you plan to dual-boot, then USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ==Workaround== Note: Read ALL the instructions before preforming this, up to the set of signs. First, MAKE A FULL DISK BACKUP! Then enable "CSM" (Compatibility Support Module) or Legacy (BIOS) mode. If you do not have this option available, then this workaround will not work :( . Boot an Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit disk. Use GParted to WIPE EVERYTHING (create a new partition table). This action can NOT be undone. Make a new partition labeled "EFI" (about 200 MB of space, FAT32 format). After the formatting completes, mount it: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt Add a folder called "boot". This folder will be empty. Add a folder called "EFI". Add a sub-folder called "Ubuntu". Leave it empty. Unmount (the command is called umount, not a spelling error): sudo umount /dev/sda1 Start the installer. Choose the "Something Else" option. Add a new "swap" partition (make it the size of your memory). Then make a new "ext4" partition with mount-point of "/". Then click the partition labeled "EFI" and select "Change". For the mount point, type in "/boot/efi" (without quotes). Click "Install now" Ignore warnings about making a BIOS partition, or elimination of files in /etc, /usr, /var... This will not affect the EFI partition. Reboot, remove CD/DVD when prompted. Keep legacy mode ON. Once ubuntu has booted from the HDD (or SSD), install "Synaptic". Then launch synaptic (enter password when prompted). Use it to install "grub-efi-ia32". This will install/uninstall other programs as well. Click apply. Wait... Reboot. Turn legacy/CSM to OFF. Problem (should be) solved. --- If ubuntu doesn't boot, then press a key like F9, F12, ESC, or another key to choose which device to boot. Choose "Boot from EFI file" Select a drive labeled "EFI". Select EFI. Select Ubuntu. Select "grubia32.efi" or "boot.efi". Let ubuntu boot. --- If you are dropped to an EFI shell, do the same as above, except type "exit" (without quotes) instead of pressing a key. --- Anything else goes wrong, use your backup to restore to its original state. == -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102 Title: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with 32-bit UEFI computers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
