F21 on UEFI

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I've built countless computers in the last 20 years, but none with the nowadays
modern UEFI bioses. Unfortunately, my main machine seems to have gotten some problems
after the last lightning storm, and it's time to renew the whole thing.

On the SSD, there's a fully updated F21, which I'd like to take over to the new
machine. However, the old machine has a "common" oldstyle BIOS, and the new
board has an UEFI one. All the drivers for the new mainboard are in the kernel,
so that won't be a problem. I've read somewhere that such an UEFI bios can be
switched to some kind of legacy mode, where it emulates an oldstyle BIOS. In other
words, that would allow me simply building the new system and taking the SSD
drive with me.

My question: is this right, or do you see a better way to do that?

Thanks,
Heinz.
