After win7 x64 installation I verified there is a GPT system partition on the hdd, and also I used "bcdedit" to verify Windows has booted using bootmgfw.efi and winload.efi. > Does Intel think it's broken? > I opened a thread about it on Intel forums/communities, where a person from Intel asked if "supported operating system" worked OK.. It seems RHEL is "supported", and RHEL 6.3 server x64 shows the same problem as Fedora, so that's good in a way. I guess I need to figure out how to open a proper bugreport to Intel. http://communities.intel.com/message/162124 so in short: Win7 x64 UEFI works, but fedora16/fedora17/rhel63 x64 fail in UEFI mode. -- Pasi -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
