Hello, I wanted to boot my servers natively, from UEFI, instead of BIOS compatibility mode. I wanted to use GRUB for that, but found out GRUB2 in PLD lacks EFI support.
First I have updated out grub2.spec from version 1.99 to 2.00, then I have started adding EFI support. For that I have removed some patches that were moving grub installed files from /boot/grub/${platform} to /lib. That was IMHO wrong because: 1. only one platform could be installed (PC in this case, so no place for EFI) 2. the /boot partition would be cluttered with GRUB modules even if the GRUB bootloader was not actually installed (via grub-install). I have finally managed to boot my server from this new grub2 package, both in legacy BIOS mode and via UEFI, but the changes I have introduced could potentially break some existing installations. Anybody using GRUB2, please test the new grub2-2.00-0.1 package. Please note: now the 'grub2' package does not contain any platform files. You have to install grub2-pc (or grub2-efi) too. Greets, Jacek P.S. I have installed the new grub2 on my laptop too… I hope it will boot tomorrow ;) _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
