[Bug 935027] New: Enable CONFIG_EFI_MIXED
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=935027 Bug ID: 935027 Summary: Enable CONFIG_EFI_MIXED Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 201505* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: kukuk@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- CONFIG_EFI_MIXED is disabled in SLE and openSUSE. Even if we official don't support systems with a 32bit EFI firmware, there are consumer machines out there which have them. Since we still ship a grub2 capable of booting machines with a pure 32bit EFI firmware, I did run into a lot of problems since CONFIG_EFI_MIXED was disabled: - YaST does not detect that this is a EFI system - efibootmgr cannot access EFI variables - wlan driver did not work - reboot does not work And most likely quite some more. I don't know which disadvantages this option has, but could we please enable it at least for openSUSE? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi, I think we can enable CONFIG_EFI_MIXED in openSUSE first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Some bootloaders also need it to be able to boot 64-bit kernel under 32-bit UEFI. (boo#935027 fate#318252) Just SUSE shim doesn't support 32-bit currently. Set this bug to FIXED. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
