UEFI

[melorium]

Hi :) Do you think its possible to get UEFI work? Or do you have any good idea how I can try to figure it out for my self. I love your produkt and use it almost every day. For forensic work but also for remote recovery of data there the machine didn't start.

Du you know if it any change to mount a NBD device in windows.

I find just a NBD server for windows but not a NBD client.

Thanks again.

Hi Dennis, I believe the ISO shall be UEFI compatible. We tested it on some configurations with UEFI. Can you describe your issue more precisely? Any error messages seen?

As for NBD client, I am not aware if there is one for Windows. I never had a use case for this. Let me check.

Alright. I remember you enabled something for UEFI and then you rollback it. But maybe I remember wrong. I wanted to have it boot from MAC devices.

Interesting :) Whats is the next stage? Im curious :)

Hi, Dennis! Sorry, got distracted by trips. The code was fixed and we made it work for UEFI too. If it doesn’t work can you describe the symptoms?

As for nbd-client for Windows, seems that no one made it. Theoretically it is possible to make it but seems that people who know what it is work on Linux anyway.

No problem I will test it all. But i have a courius question about the next stage in your projekt as you write on the code page.

What are u going to include?

Hi Dennis I have fix the UEFI problem and tested working on Linux and Windows machines. Check out the latest build/commit: 0609460

As I do not have a MAC machine which would be nice if you could test them out for me and report any issues present.

Thank you very very much. I will test it on my Mac. I LOVE BITSCOUT

@melorium The detailed changes are mentioned on this commit 0609460 and d805303

1. 0609460: Basically I imported 2 EFI modules on grub.cfg file, namely the EFI graphics modules for grub2, efi_gop (graphics output protocol) and efi_uga (universal graphics adapter) [Source:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting]

2. d805303: There is another problem which I discovered when booting bitscout using a USB stick on an EFI system, which will stuck at grub rescue menu. The problem was simply solved by loading part_gpt module on grub-mkrescue. Thus during the initial booting process, grub will be able to look for /boot/grub/grub.cfg file on a GPT-based partition.

I am happy it works for you now.
