Hm, imho this needs more. One has to run and install grub on one or more devices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827929 Title: curtin should support making installed systems BIOS+UEF

Hi Steve, Dmitri, Do you have more details on the grub process. Curtin already runs grub on one or more devices as needed. Are there any specific parameters or settings or will the grub install process detect hybrid configuration? Are there any restrictions on how the partitions are ordered or

I don't know what Dimitri's comment refers to. As far as I'm concerned this is already well-defined, and you're correct that the curtin piece is simply enforcing that both shim-signed and grub-pc get installed (and the grub install to disk is triggered for both). ** Changed in: curtin (Ubuntu)

IIUC "proper partition setup" for callers of curtin is: /boot/EFI partition *and* a grub_bios partition. Something like: config: - id: main_disk type: d

Steve, does "the grub install to disk is triggered for both" mean we should be invoking grub-install twice (once for each target), or do we have another mechanism that we can hook into to perform the install for all (available|applicable|...) grub targets? -- You received this bug notification be

We will need two formats for the hybrid mode, ptable: gpt and ptable: dos For gpt, the config from comment #1 applies, we'll have both bios_grub and an efi partition (possibly a secondary for resilient boot). For dos, we'll have: config: - id: main_disk type: disk ptabl

Lastly, much of the focus on DOS partition tables comes from subiquity's re-use existing partitions; it's still extremely common to have a dos partition table rather than gpt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bug
