I have heard that for EFI systems shim is used. Chroot-ing and installing shim should fix it. I also have a solution for the GPT situation. Creating a new image for 32-bit EFI systems could fix the problem (separating BIOS images from UEFI images). ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102 Title: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with recent (UEFI) computers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a legitimate issue with this as well. I just bought a Dell Latitude 10 with the intended purpose of trying out ubuntu's more touch friendly features on my new atom 32bit processor. As all dells now come with EFI instead of BIOS i'm suck until the 32bit Grub is adapted to support EFI. I can get the 64bit ISO on a thumbdrive to be recognized by the Dell Latitude 10 inch tablet. But when I select it to boot, it just goes to windows. I can also get the 32bit ISO on a thumbdrive to be recognized by the Dell Latitude 10 inch tablet. But when I select it to boot, it just goes to windows. I believe this is an issue with Ubuntu's lack of EFI support on their 32bit ISO, and Also intels lack of Legacy support on their new Tablet. Is there a beta version we can begin testing? Does anyone know if you can turn off EFI on the Dell Latitude 10? The Latitude 10 is the cheapest tablet with an intel atom processor.

There is a clear problem, a clear demand from several users, a fair number of hardware affected ... I'd say that sounds significant enough. The emphasis was on 32bit-only. Most of the UEFI booting by default machines are 64bit and thus they should be using the amd64 install media which is fully supported. Most of the 32-bit machines are BIOS only today. (7 year old macbooks are EFI by default, but still had BIOS boot available after Mac OS upgrade) In this bug report the Atom-System-on-a-Chip was identified as a 32bit platform with UEFI-only boot option. Supporting such platform would require creating a new install media. I am considering to spit that task as a separate request to support those machines. For all other machines, they are 64-bit capable and should be using amd64 media that works for them starting with 12.10 and 12.04.2 LTS releases. I don't follow, why should we adapt and create a second install media for UEFI+64bit machines at the expense of regressing and failing to boot older i386-bios machines. Atom-System-on-a-Chip systems don't have an install media at the moment, but they also were never yet supported, so it's not a regression but a desirable feature request.
