Thank for you all the feedback guys, OK, since upstream already replied "won't fix", of course there's no point to report an issue. As long as i386 installations are still supported, we that need this functionality, can keep using the last working grub.
> Why are you not using -amd64.iso? One use case is to be able to use the same .iso or live USB or netbooted installation for many client computers. For example, we have a few hundred schools here that have both 32bit and 64bit clients; they all netboot from a 32bit installation so that the teacher doesn't have to maintain many installations. We can keep using the old grub until 18.04 is EOLed in 2023. Another use case is to be able to troubleshoot 32bit-only bugs in 64bit hardware (that in some cases only supports UEFI booting); for example, Ryzen/amdgpu-based computers currently show black screen with 32bit installations yet they work fine with 64bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876737 Title: GRUB refuses to boot a 32-bit kernel when in EFI mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1876737/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
