I actually came across a blog entry by Matthew Garret ( redhat kernel guru ) today pleading to hardware vendors not to release 32 bit uefi only systems where he states the same thing:
http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26734.html I looked over the UEFI specs a bit today too and came to the conclusion that it is technically possible for a UEFI firmware to support both 32 and 64 bit, I would be difficult with no real gain so I would be very surprised to see anyone do it. After all, the target platform of choice ( Windows ) only supports UEFI on the 64 bit release and 32 bit operating systems can boot just fine in legacy mode so there just isn't any incentive to make a dual arch firmware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020446 Title: grub-efi 32 bits fails on 64bits computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1020446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
