Is this for UEFI? #33

Open chelmND opened 6 years ago

chelmND commented 6 years ago

I downloaded the latest build ISO, dban-20180328-g311c5ee_linux-4.7.2_i586.iso, and have been testing this; which I thought was to add UEFI support, and it never works on a UEFI machine. It only works if I change the BIOS settings to CSM support and "auto" or "both" UEFI and Legacy support.

I may have misunderstood the notes on this. Is this suppose to work on a UEFI machine? I apologize if this is not the right place to ask this question. It is the only place I could find to ask a question.

No, the release builds don't have UEFI boot support. See #28 for partly working WIP build.

Any progress on getting UEFI support merged into the release branch? It looks like it was last worked on nearly a year ago.

I'd first like to fix the issues with it failing to boot in certain cases, but haven't had the time to do more testing with it
