Hi
About 1> CONFIG_RELOCATABLE we have this disabled on i386, enabled in x86_64, that is unusual INFO: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/RELOCATABLE.html I'm worrying about > "The relocations tend to make the kernel binary about 10% larger, but are discarded at runtime. but "... discarded at runtime", maybe this should not harm kernel boot in 32bit, is something getting my attention... About 6> OK > must we change CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS from "m" to "y" ? Really need? About: 7> OK > I'll change from CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y to "n" - now I'm waiting an answer if this is ok also for omv2013 (i think so) bye, NicCo Il Mercoledì 6 Novembre 2013 12:25, Nicolò Costanza <[email protected]> ha scritto: Hi to all My answer to the interesting suggestions from Alexander Kazancev: Alex Kazancev suggested us to verify and adopt the full archilunux configs for the UEFI part Please, answer me ASAP as I have to prepare and send immediately Kernels 3.10.18 & 3.11.7 with or without the proposed UEFI changes!
