I don't know if grub2 is capable of this, but it would be nice to find out. No success with rEFInd and SuperGrub2 utilities although they both seemed to function properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download and burn an install disk 2.hold "Option" key on the mac while booting for install 3.select "Windows" as the boot partition 4.attempt to select a Boot Type Actual Results: The system Boot Menu never shows an EFI partition for the install disc... When I select the "Windows" partition; it is stuck at: 1. Legacy (isolinux) 2. UEFI (elilo) Select CD-ROM Boot Type: _ Expected Results: Find an EFI partition and boot installer system from it. I might try to install a 32-bit openSUSE instance to see if EFI works with that. -- 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.
