It's a few years since I used OpenSolaris and I was wondering if anyone is working on UEFI Secure Boot for the open source Solaris-like operating systems.
I have looked at the oi-dev-151a5; NexentaStor-Community; OmniOS and SmartOS installation media and none of them appear to support UEFI booting (no "EFI" directory). My target system is a Supermicro X9SAE (Intel C216 chipset) with an Intel Xeon E3-1275 v2 (Ivy Bridge) CPU. It has AMI Aptio firmware (EFI Specification Revision 2.3.1; Version 4.6.53). Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation installs in "UEFI Only" mode as does Fedora 17 (with some graphics problems). I have tried installing from several of the distributions in "Legacy Only" mode but none of them went far, possibly because it is rather close to the leading edge. -- John Connett _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
