* UEFI boot support (FS#20419)
At some time I want to support UEFI boot. But I do not have any real
hardware to test it. Neither UEFI firmware for qemu (two versions
tested) or virtualbox works fine, testing with some UEFI compatible
mediums without happy results.
No need to hurry here. Afaik UEFI and linux (or UEFI in general) has
quite some problems and regressions over the default BIOS boot. I have
such hardware, but what the bug report does not mention is that it works
pretty fine without any downsides without it.
I read some weeks ago that some UEFI implementations always/only read a
"default" location in UEFI partitions, assuming that the only OS that
will be used is Windows, breaking the "ecosystem" under /EFI directory.
* syslinux keymaps (FS#21725)
I worked on this some time ago, but I want some feedback from people
that needs this, we need a trivial lilo patch for keymaps generation.
It would be cool if one could choose the keymap/language from a
syslinux menu and then also propagate this info to the live system to
use the same values here as well.
* md5sum
Self check of all files (mostly important *.sfs), as boot option,
executed at initramfs stage. $install_dir/checksums.md5
That would be cool and very useful imho.
Thank you.
