[kernel-bugs] [Bug 1172292] Support for 64-bit processors on motherboards with 32-bit UEFI (mixed-mode support)
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172292 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1172292#c6 Neil Rickert <nwr10cst-oslnx@yahoo.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |nwr10cst-oslnx@yahoo.com --- Comment #6 from Neil Rickert <nwr10cst-oslnx@yahoo.com> --- I'll note that I have been experimenting with this since 2018. My experiments are in a KVM virtual machine with ovmf firmware. I described some of my attempts here: https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2018/11/28/opensuse-leap-15-0-and-32-bit-ef... I currently have both Tumbleweed and Leap 15.2 running this way. If you want help for installing, then open a new topic at forums.opensuse.org and I will assist. My current install method would easier than in that earlier blog post, but does require some linux command line steps. With regard to possibly providing install support, I can probably help there too with testing and with perhaps using my experience. With current install media, my method would be: 1: Use the DVD installer, and copy that to a USB flash drive; 2: Create a new larger EFI partition on that flash drive, and change the original partition type to FAT16 (so that there is only 1 EFI partition). 3: Copy the original EFI partition to the new one (file/directory tree copy, not binary copy. This is so that 64-bit EFI installs can still be done. 4: Modify that EFI partition by installing support for grub2-i386-efi booting. Obviously that's missing detail. After those changes, you can install. But to boot the newly installed system, you would need to install grub2-i386-efi, and manually run grub2-install to set it up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
