Most new systems support EFI, but still comparatively few people actually boot via EFI, it seems like; often systems still default to booting via BIOS emulation and you have to manually choose to use native EFI boot. Obviously this is changing over time and EFI support is becoming more and more important. > I had vague recollections that grub2 had problems with UEFI - perhaps > it has been fixed now? No, it's still pretty busted, hence the fudge of using grub-legacy for EFI installs of F16. This unfortunately makes the whole problem space much more complex and is a decision we're starting to regret, but we're kind of stuck with it now :/ -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
