As long as a particular installation needs to set the "legacy_boot" flag, it absolutely must clear that flag on all other partitions.
I thought that flag was only used by syslinux gptmbr.bin use case, which suggests BIOS firmware and a GPT partition scheme. That itself is an odd combination because there are a sufficient number of BIOS firmware systems that face plant on GPT that it's not a good default combination. GRUB doesn't make use of legacy_boot, whether on BIOS or UEFI firmware. And it's next to pointless on UEFI firmware systems because the UEFI spec says any code in LBA 0 is to be ignored (except by CSM). I'm under the impression these are all sufficiently edge cases they shouldn't happen on installations, and just be used for things like installation media. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
