[elbe-devel] [BUG] UEFI boot

[Manuel Traut]

Hi Claudius,
 
> 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?

if it ends in a backtrace it's always a bug :)

Regards,
