(Btw., I assume you aren't aware that any boot manager whatsoever, other than the one coming with EFI, is sort of bogus under EFI?)Unfortunately it looks like more and more people are of the opinion that grub2 is useful even on UEFI firmware. For example, it is pretty clear that Ubuntu is still going to boot Xen via grub2 no matter how the firmware looks like.Then they need to be tought how to do it properly, the more that Linux itself now is capable of booting without a boot loader (other than the EFI one).What would it take to make Xen work properly with grub2 on a UEFI firmware?I can't be that difficult.I think that we should add it as a work item for Xen 4.3.If you have someone to do that work. I'm willing to review the resulting changes, but I currently don't see me doing anything here (as being totally unimportant and - just to repeat that - conceptually wrong).Heh... I agree with Jan but there are so many things conceptually wrong used by millions of people and we could not change that. Let's fix (broke?) it. I am going to work on EFI stuff in upstream kernel and I think this task could be assigned to me too. Daniel ----- Nessun virus nel messaggio.
