Over the last few days I have tried to set up using uefi gpt and grub2. Aft= er many hours of frustration I have gone back to grub legacy and mbr.

I followed the Gentoo wiki =A0and Arch wiki and several other sources of wh= ich I failed miserably. Is this technology fairly unreliable? I booted from= a uefi enabled usb stick but still fell over. Is this ready for mainstream= or
=A0still alpha like?

Also does ufibootmgr change motherboard firmware? Somehow this feels
wrong if the case.

Hi,=A0

I tri= ed installing UEFI GPT too a few months ago, but I had a semi success. Afte= r some days of fiddeling around with parameters and variables I could boot = the system, but I can't see the kernel output or open-rc. But the X loa= ds and the system works after that like normal, but without the textual tty= s. terminal emulations like xterm or so work. So I would install it again, = but it isn't as easy as thought.
