Public bug reported: [Impact] It is currently not possible to install EFI-based arm64 systems.
[Test Case] Install an arm64 system with d-i. On reboot you should have a new "ubuntu" entry in the EFI boot menu that starts GRUB and boots into Linux. This can be tested in QEMU if hardware is not available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM64/QEMU Note that kernel support is also required, so you'll need to use an LTS Enablement kernel. [Regression Risk] Most of the required changes involve enabling builds/backporting code that will only run on previously-unsupported systems. The biggest risk I see is in breaking previously-supported arm64 systems - luckily there's only a few of those and we can test them. ** Affects: efibootmgr (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix
