Comment # 1 on bug 963600 from
The EeeBook has secure boot disabled, I configured so via BIOS settings.

On the USB stick, I exchanged Leap ISO's (msdos1)/EFI/BOOT/bootx86.efi with
bootia32.efi from the Ubuntu image referenced above:

- the EeeBook offers to select the USB stick as a boot medium

- when selected, the boot works in the sense that I have a grub shell

- by calling "linux (hd0,msdos2)/boot/x86_64/loader/vmlinux", "initrd
(hd0,msdos2)/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd" and "boot" the system will boot.

I have not spent any major effort on creating some EFI configuration that will
present a proper Grub menu - using manual commands to start the installer is
all I needed for POC.

Unfortunately, there are some issues that make the built-in keyboard/touchpad
stay dead, but I can continue using USB keyboard/mouse to continue.

So in terms of this bug, I prove that booting Leap on such a machine is
possible, all that's missing is a proper bootia32.efi included in the EFI
partition of the ISO.
