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)

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?

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
==========================================================

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
