try to invoke grub and run memtest86+ , it will simply not boot.

it doesn’t work with a VGA BIOS either

@NineX

i did build tianocore based bios for l4 from purism source, works for me.

of course it does, we even provide the build config for it. we’ve been testing it since the very L14 prototype.

@NineX

from os perspective well no conversion needed at all, only grub-uefi , you don’t even have to have fat partition, tianocore is able boot from ext3 it’s just a matter of creating corect filestructure in /boot/

while true, it’s not EFI spec compliant. And you completely missed my point: Purism as a company has to support all of the L14’s already shipped with PureOS installed in a legacy config. So we either need to automate the conversion to a UEFI-bootable OS, or provide instructions to do so. Either option increases the burden on our support staff, so not something we can just casually decide to do.

@NineX

it took me 10 minutes to figure this out, so i have pureos 10 bios/uefi compatibile system, with single bootloader config

and for ever user like you, there’s 10 that can’t and will increase our support burden
