While evaluating various Linux distributions for repurposing a
MacBook Pro 2,1 as a Linux box, I was pleasantly surprised to find
that not only was Fedora unique in producing a bootable disk without
resorting to the presence of an OS x partition with eEFind, but that
it was unique in being about to boot the x86_64 linux kernel from
EFI-32 firmware.
Can anyone explain how that feature is implemented in Fedora 24?
Is it related to the failback.efi or do you have an enhanced
BOOTX64.efi which can shims between the EFI-64 calls of the x86_64
kernel and the EFI-32 firmware on the MacBook 2,1? If so, is the code
for that feature hosted somewhere on github where the other Linux
distributions can use it as well. I assume this EFI-32 support for
booting the x86_64 kernel extends to the PC motherboards with bios
support for only EFI-32 as well.
