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! Question and proposal ========================================================= Hi. Is our kernels has EFI-enabled config like this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Linux_Kernel_Config_options_for_UEFI If not, may you enable this? -- Alexander KazancevRelease manager of ROSA Desktop distribution ========================================================= Answer ========================= nr. 8 keys to check: ========================= 1> CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y 2> CONFIG_EFI=y 3> CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y 4> CONFIG_FB_EFI=y 5> CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y 6> CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=y 7> CONFIG_EFI_VARS=n 8> CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y ============================ Our recent configs ========================================================== Kernel 3.10.17 & 3.11.6 have the same UEFI keys & values: there are differences with ths suggestions from archilinux we must verify if their suggestions are good also for us ========================================================== 1> ARM > none 386 > # CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is not set x64 > CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y 2> ARM > none 386 > CONFIG_EFI=y x64 > CONFIG_EFI=y 3> ARM > none 386 > CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y x64 > CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y 4> ARM > none 386 > CONFIG_FB_EFI=y x64 > CONFIG_FB_EFI=y 5> ARM > CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y 386 > CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y x64 > CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y 6> ARM > none 386 > CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=m x64 > CONFIG_EFIVAR_FS=m 7> CONFIG_EFI_VARS=n, we have different configs, we have this "y", archilinux say to put to "n" if we dont support > old efivars sysfs interface - /sys/firmware/efi/vars, this can be done # # EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Support # CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE=y 8> ARM > CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y 386 > CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y x64 > CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y 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! bye, NicCo
