Given that grub itself works as 64-bit, I assume that the EFI firmware
is also 64-bit. And the grub itself loads a 64-bit kernel, so I'm
pretty sure everything is 64-bit in the pipeline.
Would 64-bit grub-efi work on a 32-bit efi firmware?

I've gotten UEFI booting working on some platforms, while other
platforms are not working. Specifically, booting on Intel's own
motherobards using Intel's own BIOS software (Specifically, the SOX5810J
motherboard) does not seem to work. I get the blank screen before the

Most likely the disk enumeration is different than what you have in
the grub list.
boot into a working system, plug your disk with the linux in, and then
do sudo blkid
get the UUID of your root filesystem, and then put it as
root=UUID=00----0 instead of /dev/sda4.
Hi Stephen,
The situation is a little bit better in my side too...
I recompile the 2.6.34 kernel following the instructions in
Documentation/x86/x86_64/uefi.txt, from the kernel linux package.
Especially, I defined "CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y" int the .config file
instead of "CONFIG_FRAMEBUF
Hi Reynold,
I've made some progress past you recently! I think there are bugs in
the Linux Kernel now that must be overcome by the folks over at kernel
development. Did you try the 'noefi' kernl boot flag? It allowed me to
get past the hang and my system would actually boot.
Also, I'm using th
I observed a similar beahaviour as stephen in my side.
Especially I had no dificulty at all to switch to a 1680x1050x32 graphic
mode (following Piscium's advices) in the grub2 interface with what
follows in grub.cfg
insmod efi_gop
insmod font
loadfont (hd1,gpt4)/usr/sh
Ah, yes -- the gfxpayload variable works. But now after it
successfully initializes the video mode, it hangs at the boot with the _
(no output yet at all from kernel).
I'm trying to boot ubuntu lucid (2.6.32-22-generic). The EFI boot
works on some machines, one others it doesn't.
Thanks

Which kernel or os are you loading? Did you try setting the gfxpayload env var
to 1024x768?

-- GRUB tries to initalize with 800x600 regardless of what $gfxmode is

set gfxmode=1024x768
will still result in GRUB trying to initalize the video as 800x600
after the 'boot' command is issued.

Hi everyone,
I've had some interesting discoveries / success with this problem in
the past couple of days. Where I am I have several machines to try out.
On some of the machines, it works; while on others, it doesn't. I'm
pretty sure this all has to do with the video modes now.
On my laptop (
Hi,
I encounter very similar problemes on a my macbook pro 15', a MBP 6,2.

INTEL graphic card, instead of the NVIDIA GT330M one, and finally increase
a lot the battery run time)
In my case efi_video_info returns

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
After trying terminal_output, the computer screen would simply go black
and the machine would hang (the numlock key would not respond) after the
terminal_output gfx command was executed; this would happen regardless
of whether or not set gfxmode was called before.
