Description of problem: There is no EFI install on 32 bit installers. I have a Gateway LT41P04u , which has 32 bit UEFI firmware (I tried a workaround by booting the installer on a BIOS machine with "gpt" on the cmdline, and installing grub2-efi later, but it still doesn't work). It would also be nice if the default auto partition for GPT includes a "BIOS_Boot" partition. I guess there needs to be 2 grub.cfg files : one at /boot/grub2/grub.cfg , and one at /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg ? Maybe need mokutil , MokManager.efi , shim.efi as well. The best would be a way to make a 32 bit UEFI firmware boot a 64 kernel, but I think that's difficult. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I tried it on Fedora-20-Beta-i386 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I got this to work (Fedora-20-Beta-i386 runs on a 32 bit UEFI secure boot machine). The only tricky thing is that anaconda sets the "bootable" flag on the "protective MBR", so that causes the UEFI firmware (Insydeh20 BIOS v2.03) to ignore the EFI partition. When I unset the bootable flag (and copied a modified /boot/grub2/grub.cfg to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg), then it booted. I know have a disk that boots on UEFI machines and BIOS machines. FYI, since there is no shim.efi, on the UEFI machine I had to go into firmware setup UI and "select an UEFI file as trusted for executing" (when this option is selected, users may select all available .efi in FAT32 partitions and add the .efi hash into secure DB). Fedora rules!
This is more of a lorax thing, I think.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
