| ianw | well, with some inserted bash calls and some fiddling, i have a qcow image with a efi partition, an EFI directory and a grub efi binary ... and no idea what to do with it :) | 02:52 |

| ianw | i don't think i have anything else for the GPT support | 06:18 |
| ianw | greghaynes: ^ when around, i'd appreciate review, particularly of the override element used in the testing. i think that's maybe a new precedent ... i didn't want to create yet-another-environment variable | 06:18 |
| ianw | tonyb: i might give you a ping tomorrow if you're around ... see if we can get anything going on the efi side of things | 06:19 |
| ianw | greghaynes: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529976/ is another one i wouldn't mind another set of eyes on | 06:25 |

| tonyb | ianw: Sure feel free to ping me, I'm not certain how I can help with EFI stuff | 21:24 |
| ianw | tonyb: ok, will ping in a bit. if we can find something working (an image, installer, etc?) to work backwards from, that might be good | 21:26 |
| clarkb | ianw: I discovered recently because my local hardware had a sad but the efi installation process talks to board firmware to make sure its in the boot order | 21:26 |
| clarkb | at least on suse | 21:26 |
| clarkb | is that what you are struggling with? | 21:27 |
| ianw | clarkb: yeah that's at least part of it | 21:31 |
| ianw | grub-install has a --nonvram or similar option i think | 21:31 |
| clarkb | at least in my case on suse it "worked" but it was mad it couldn't talk to the firmware so I expect something like ^ should work | 21:32 |
| clarkb | basically it forced my board firmware to search for things on boot a little harder | 21:32 |

| hrw | ianw: about grub-efi... | 22:00 |
| hrw | ianw: if you want to make sure that image boots on any efi system (assuming efi arch == os arch) copy \EFI\whatever\grubARCH.efi to \EFI\BOOT\bootARCH.efi | 22:01 |
| clarkb | there is a --removable flag that does that for you | 22:02 |
| hrw | as if efi does not have boot order stored in efivars storage then is usually goes for 'lets treat storage as removable media' | 22:02 |
| hrw | clarkb: right. | 22:02 |
| hrw | just do not mention that to EDK2/Tianocore developers as they usually reply with 'your virtualziation software is wrong' | 22:03 |
| hrw | on x86/baremetal there are 64bit machines with 32bit efi but I think that handling such is out of scope for dib | 22:04 |
| clarkb | fungi has one of those, and ya I don't think we need to worry about that for dib (its enough of a corner case) | 22:04 |
| hrw | iirc most of mac systems were that way. and some atom platforms | 22:05 |
| fungi | yeah, i wouldn't take this laptop as a shining example of common hardware design patterns | 22:05 |
| hrw | ;D | 22:05 |
| hrw | the good part is that technically every x86 should boot from GPT disk despite legacybios/uefi as firmware as long as proper bootloader is installed. and you can have both grubs installed on hdd (distros usually disallow to have both installed) | 22:07 |
| fungi | yeah, gpt became necessary long ago for larger disk sizes anyway | 22:08 |
| fungi | so basically everyone needed to start supporting booting from it | 22:08 |
| hrw | >2TB | 22:09 |
| hrw | when I switched cirros to use gpt I was able to boot x86, x86-64, aarch64, arm and probably also other archs with bios/uefi/direct-kernel combos (depends on arch) | 22:10 |
| hrw | still it probably take a year or two before everyone moves to 0.4.0 release ;d | 22:11 |
| hrw | ok, time to bed for me - 23:11 here | 22:11 |
| hrw | have a nice day | 22:12 |
| fungi | g'night! | 22:12 |
| ianw | hrw: ok, we might have to sync up soon on what exactly we need as the output for the arm qcow | 22:12 |
