The DVD will boot via EFI on EFI systems and via legacy BIOS otherwise. Systems with both EFI & legacy BIOS _might_ (but don't need to) present you a dialog to select.
So you are saying that if the user can disable their bios's legacy boot support, then SUSE will boot using EFI.
You normally don't have to actually disable it but set the boot priority to try efi first. But basically, yes.
Wouldn't that depend on one's bios? In my Dell I can choose for EFI boot or legacy.
When I choose EFI, the suse 11.2 DVD doesn't boot. Is it supposed to?
Ok, the situation is a bit more confusing than I thought. :-( The theory is that since oS 11.1 all x64-64 boot media should also be EFI bootable. I've looked into it and what we really have is: - oS 11.1 x86-64 4GB-DVD & NET-ISO work - oS 11.2 media do have an EFI boot image (/boot/x86_64/efi) but don't work due to a KIWI bug (that got fixed yesterday, AFAIK) - oS 11.3 previews: not yet but should start to work once the new KIWI is used Steffen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
