In my experience with the OI live USB image, it would run in either mode. Even the installer worked correctly. However, when I tried to boot the disk where I just installed, it failed in UEFI mode. It worked in BIOS mode. The problem was likely with the VESA video driver, which is run as a last resort by Xorg. The VESA driver makes BIOS calls that fail when there is no BIOS. I'm using the Radeon HD 7450 video card that only works with the VESA driver. Hence OI boot only works in BIOS mode. /var/log/Xorg.0.log tells the tale. -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
