Kickstart partitioning that works for UEFI too #201

Closed jabl closed 6 years ago

jabl commented 7 years ago

For UEFI boot one needs a /boot/efi partition formatted as FAT. Make sure such a partition is always created. For BIOS boot it makes no difference.

does it work without uefi too? the lack of mbr might be a problem

jabl commented 6 years ago

Yes, it does. According to the kickstart docs, if --location= is missing it defaults to mbr. Presumably it must default to something else on UEFI systems, since those must have GPT instead of msdos partition tables, and hence they AFAIK have no MBR. I did have some problems with the partitioning for uefi, but I don't know if getting rid of the --location was the solution or the creation of the /boot/efi partition.
