This is on 2 separate computers. I'm testing this weekend the .iso user
would download from our website:
https://www.openmandriva.org/Downloads
ie. that which is on SourceForge and our mirrors. Both computers have
multiple partitions and existing Linux OS's already installed in
UEFI-boot mode. Ergo existing /boot/efi partition.
To get it to install on UEFI computers I have to:
1. Boot into Live mode then run 'urpmi.update -a' then
2. 'urpmi grub2 grub2-efi efivar efibootmgr'. All of which update to
newer packages.
3. Start installer (drake-live-install) where one must select 'Custom
partitioning' not 'Install on existing partitions' so one can select the
existing '/boot/efi' partition.
4. On both computers Grub2 appeared to install. But upon reboot the
previous grub2 menu was there. Then I find out that initrd wasn't built
so I have to chroot into newly installed OS and build initrd with dracut
and:
5. # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
#grub2-install /dev/sdx
I would seem to me to be a kool thing if we could make this something
which 'just works' on our 2014.2 release. Also giving another valid
reason for said release. Steps 1 and 2 should not be necessary and a
2014.2 spin. The bit in 3 about you must select 'Custom partitioning'
should probably be in release notes. In fact maybe should be there right
now. Finally I'm hoping we can get it to actually build initrd and
install grub2 correctly as current OM Lx 3 build 10850 does. At least
build 10850 does that here.
