[elbe-devel] [BUG] UEFI boot

[Claudius Heine]

Hi,

I am currently trying to create a rfs image for the Intel Galileo
platform and had some issues with ELBE 1.0.

The Intel Galileo platform uses UEFI to boot, so I had to setup a GPT
partition layout and within it a FAT32 boot partition with the "0xEF00"
partition type. I would expect that this partition type is
automatically chosen within a GPT when I define the "bootable" tag for
the partition.

For some reason ELBE wants to add "LBA" flags to the partitions and
because GPT doesn't support those an exception is raised.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

regards,
Claudius Heine
