Feature changed by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Feature #311043, revision 5 Title: switch to a UEFI-ready bootloader by default openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: While reading a review of a Sandy Bridge motherboard in Anandtech it was pointed that upcoming intel motherboards will ship with a UEFI firmware instead of a BIOS. While reading the documentation for UEFI firmware I noticed that the bootloader has to be a UEFI application. In order to support this new hardware we need a bootloader that supports UEFI booting, GRUB legacy as far as I know doesn't support this. I think it's time to retire GRUB legacy and use GRUB2, elilo or rEFIt (though this one is a long shot).
