Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Hi Peter, It works! Thanks so much to everyone who helped me! I will see about the stability of this thing in the next few days. If it is as stable as the MBR/GRUB VMs, I will redo them all. Regards, Vincent > Le 9 janv. 2017 à 01:28, Peter Grehan a écrit : > > Hi

Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Hi Vincent, Nothing works with UEFI console for me so I think I’m going to stick with BIOS-MBR-GRUB for now, unless you have an idea I can try… The live ISO can be repacked to work with a serial console. The only complication is that the systemd-boot (aka gummiboot, Arch's UEFI loader) are

Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Dear Vincent, GRUB2 in Archlinux normally boots in "graphical" mode. You have toswitch it to "text" mode. This is done by adding: -8<-- GRUB_TERMINAL="serial console" GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit 0 --speed=115200 --stop=1 -- parity=no --word=8"

Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Hi, So I tried something else, that ended up not working either. :( I booted the installer in BIOS mode, and followed the instruction to make the vm disk UEFI-bootable here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-boot I omitted the intel microcode (I don’t think it applies to a virtual

Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Hi Peter! Thanks for this. I’m going to look at how to rebuild an Archlinux ISO with that extra option later this week and see how it goes. Regards, Vincent > Le 2 janv. 2017 à 15:52, Peter Grehan a écrit : > > Hi Vincent, > >> I guess my resolution for 2017 is more

Re: Arch Linux UEFI Bhyve Setup

Hi Vincent, I guess my resolution for 2017 is more clarity. So what I mean to know with this experiment is simply this: can UEFI be used with a serial console (i.e.: without a graphic console), if so, is it preferable over GRUB for Linux distros that support UEFI? Until I am positive about

Happy 2017 all, I guess my resolution for 2017 is more clarity. So what I mean to know with this experiment is simply this: can UEFI be used with a serial console (i.e.: without a graphic console), if so, is it preferable over GRUB for Linux distros that support UEFI? Until I am positive
