This post discusses my experience with installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Beta 2, on a UEFI-enabled X64 platform The post describes my experience in building and configuring GRUB2 to boot Fedora 12 from the TianoCore EFI shell. It also describes how to reduce the time to load the kernel and initrd images from over three minutes to a few seconds. Background images are also discussed. For some time Fedora releases have supported UEFI (more commonly known as EFI) booting on X86-64 platforms. Having some experience of using EFI on IA64 platforms over the years, I decided to test out EFI booting Fedora 12 on one of my systems has built-in support for UEFI booting. This post details my experience. UEFI is a follow on to the original EFI specification developed by Intel in the late 1990s. Until recently, UEFI was restricted to high-end servers but is now becoming more commonplace on commodity servers and desktops. Fedora 12 can be booted using UEFI. In this post, I describe how to access and list the UEFI globally defined variables that Fedora 12 is aware of. |
