Subject: [gentoo-user] uefi gpt grub2
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:24:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Zen-1TWQE5-0003b8-FA@smarthost03.mail.zen.net.uk> (raw)

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

I followed the Gentoo wiki  and Arch wiki and several other sources of which 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 
 still alpha like?

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