Some BIOS/UEFI show unmodified Centos installer boot menu

[ajd394]

When i boot in BIOS mode i see the Hardened install menu but booting in UEFI mode displays the regular Centos 7 install menu.

This seems to have been fixed. You DO have to run the installer from its default directory, however. Seems like running it outside of that (I just created a script that 'cd's' to the directory. Otherwise seems likes it doesn't work.

@symgryph Hey I'm having trouble understanding how you are able to make it work. I cloned this repo and executed createiso.sh after "cd hardened-centos7-kickstart". then dd the hardened iso to a usb and booted to it in UEFI mode. at that point i saw the regular Centos 7 install menu.

Have you tried recently? I believe this issue has been fixed.

I used dd to make a flash drive and it didn't boot to the hardened installer but then I made an old fashioned CD out of it and it worked fine. Not sure if that is a bug or not. Could have been and issue with the bios firmware on the system I was using. On Sat, May 13, 2017 at 2:51 PM Frank Caviggia notifications@github.com wrote:

Okay, I'll do some testing - but I'm going to close this issue for now.

You probably need to set the bios to emulate a cd 💿.

I also found that virtualbox doesn't see the hardened boot menu but VMware fusion does. Basically the type of bios makes a big difference. I see this as an issue still.

I can check virtualbox here in a bit - I've only tested it in KVM and VMware.

@fcaviggia in the virtualbox settings i tried checking the EFI mode to no avail.

[fcaviggia]

Latest version - looks good to me - CentOS 7.3 (1611) booting with UEFI on VirtualBox v5.1.22 - only configuration item was selection EFI in the System Menu - Installed just fine. I've also tested with KVM (on Fedora 25) and VMware ESXi 6.5
