I know... the loadbios stuff in grub-efi seems not to be enough - maybe because the vbios.bin created by grub-dumpbios is only 64KiB, while lspci shows an expansion rom of 128KiB. But if this is a bug in grub-dumpbios, it does not belong here ;) > I have the patch ready for gptsync, however refit doesn't build at the > moment due to a bug in gnu-efi. This should be fixed soon. Sounds good - looking forward to it. Regards, Wilfried -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
