Is this referring to the /boot/efi partition? This would require substantial changes to how we allocate partitions, and seems to work as it is currently setup. Yes, /boot/efi is the EFI System Partition. Per the EFI spec, it carries a DOS type of 0xef to distinguish it from type 0x6. May not be critical, as 0x6 does indeed work today. This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release Will defer this for now since it appears to work. I'm re-opening this for consideration again now that the IA-32 release is finished. FWIW, one of the partition types (6, I believe) doesn't work at all on the Compaq box here. EFI never sees it... (this could be a bug in their smartarray EFI driver, though.) OK, this is fixed in CVS. It should be in the next build. |
