Hello everybody,
I am having trouble with EFI booting the media, at least in virtualbox it fails for me. Instead of presenting the boot menu I am dropped to EFI shell.
As I am not sure what caused the issue I open a new topic. We had some changes recently... New packages of efitools (replacing prebootloader) and dosfstools (which create the filesystem for emulated boot). I tried with various combinations of old package(s) and different configuration - but could not make it boot in virtualbox EFI virtual machine.
Did anybody build an image recently and tested EFI functionality?
Hello!
At time of working with Keshav to include EFI support in archiso, all test I made using qemu with OVMF and later with ovmf secure boot enabled. If my memory does not fail... with VirtualBox I did not able to boot, or if boot works really bad.
I tested now (vbox) and does not work neither with an older ISO image with archiso.img (FAT) of size 32M, while qemu with ovmf (package / not SecBoot built-in) works fine.
I used to test my builds with Virtualbox and it worked just fine for me. The official ISO image 2016-05-01 boots without issue, same for an image I built on 2016-05-11 at 10 am. It fails since one day later, so anything changed between 2016-05-11 at 10 am and 2016-05-12 late afternoon. -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
