So if you have a bunch of legacy OS's that were installed on a BIOS system, then you'll probably find it much easier to use a "legacy BIOS" or "disable UEFI" (very badly named) option. This enables a compatibility support module to present a faux-BIOS to the legacy OS, and sometimes this presents performance limitations and the only way to find out is to test the system separately with UEFI native and CSM-BIOS booting. If all kernels are relatively recent (approximately version 3.3 or newer), then it's possible for the Fedora 21 grub2-efi package to support booting all of these legacy OS's in native UEFI mode. The key factor is if the kernel has EFISTUB enabled at the time it was built. I think GRUB also has a command that allows enabling the CSM-BIOS per boot. So that might be another way around this. But now we're deep in multiboot weeds... -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
