https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=897507 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=897507#c0 Summary: kiwi: AArch64 EFI partition gets active pMBR partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201409* Platform: aarch64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: ms@suse.com ReportedBy: agraf@suse.com QAContact: ms@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- When kiwi boots up its OEM initrd, it always sets the pMBR partition as active: #====================================== # activate boot partition #-------------------------------------- activateBootPartition However, setting this partition as active breaks booting with AMI EFI bioses. Since we don't need the BIOS compatibility here, can we just not set the pMBR partition active? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
