Re: [PATCH] bug fix for x86_64 efi
Hi Peter / phcoder / all other grub gurus, I've joined the grub-devel mail list while attempting to get MacIntel Xserves to boot linux. I work with a 3d Movie Effects company that has 25 MacIntel Xserves that are becoming close to as useful as paperweights because they can't run Maya at 64bit for rendering. (and we can't repurpose them as linux servers). Any chance we can help test this patch in an xserve environment, and/ or do you have any ideas that would help us? Here's the most discouraging info I've received in my research to date: The Xserve does not have BIOS compatibility, and so you'll need to boot through EFI. The Apple EFI implementation will not boot directly off ISO9660 media, so you'll need to find a way to get to the EFI console. You'll need a kernel configured with EFI support. There's no especially sensible way to get a working framebuffer on this hardware, so you'll need to work out what arguments need to be passed to your distribution's installer in order to get it to run over the serial port. elilo or grub-efi should be able to boot the kernel and initramfs. I've been catologing my research at: http://drewsta.com/xserve.html Thanks!

I'd be happy to document errors and such if someone can recommend what the best path of target is. Maya rendering doesn't actually touch the video cards (some of our linux systems don't even have video cards), and general usage servers don't care much so drivers for the systems aren't a huge concern as long as the systems don't crash. i'll try to setup a dev system this weekend and get some feedback posted. are there any critical steps and/or locations for submitting data for this project that i should know? or just post on a web wiki and send an email? thanks!!!

This patch has been in mail list for sometime, it is essential to get a working display in intel macs. Hi, How about this patch ? The split is necessary as it introduces new command loadbios and fakebios that uses the fake_bios_data function, and it would be ugly to put them all inside linux.c. Do you have any strong reason to make loadbios and fakebios separate? I think the overhead is negligible. Hi, loadbios and fakebios are sort of like hacks for the efi platform, I think they shouldn't be placed in the linux loader.
