ianwwell, with some inserted bash calls and some fiddling, i have a qcow image with a efi partition, an EFI directory and a grub efi binary ... and no idea what to do with it :)02:52

ianwi don't think i have anything else for the GPT support06:18
ianwgreghaynes: ^ when around, i'd appreciate review, particularly of the override element used in the testing.  i think that's maybe a new precedent ... i didn't want to create yet-another-environment variable06:18
ianwtonyb: i might give you a ping tomorrow if you're around ... see if we can get anything going on the efi side of things06:19
ianwgreghaynes: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529976/ is another one i wouldn't mind another set of eyes on06:25

tonybianw: Sure feel free to ping me, I'm not certain how I can help with EFI stuff21:24
ianwtonyb: ok, will ping in a bit.  if we can find something working (an image, installer, etc?) to work backwards from, that might be good21:26
clarkbianw: I discovered recently because my local hardware had a sad but the efi installation process talks to board firmware to make sure its in the boot order21:26
clarkbat least on suse21:26
clarkbis that what you are struggling with?21:27
ianwclarkb: yeah that's at least part of it21:31
ianwgrub-install has a --nonvram or similar option i think21:31
clarkbat least in my case on suse it "worked" but it was mad it couldn't talk to the firmware so I expect something like ^ should work21:32
clarkbbasically it forced my board firmware to search for things on boot a little harder21:32

hrwianw: about grub-efi...22:00
hrwianw: if you want to make sure that image boots on any efi system (assuming efi arch == os arch) copy \EFI\whatever\grubARCH.efi to \EFI\BOOT\bootARCH.efi22:01
clarkbthere is a --removable flag that does that for you22:02
hrwas if efi does not have boot order stored in efivars storage then is usually goes for 'lets treat storage as removable media'22:02
hrwclarkb: right.22:02
hrwjust do not mention that to EDK2/Tianocore developers as they usually reply with 'your virtualziation software is wrong'22:03
hrwon x86/baremetal there are 64bit machines with 32bit efi but I think that handling such is out of scope for dib22:04
clarkbfungi has one of those, and ya I don't think we need to worry about that for dib (its enough of a corner case)22:04
hrwiirc most of mac systems were that way. and some atom platforms22:05
fungiyeah, i wouldn't take this laptop as a shining example of common hardware design patterns22:05
hrw;D22:05
hrwthe good part is that technically every x86 should boot from GPT disk despite legacybios/uefi as firmware as long as proper bootloader is installed. and you can have both grubs installed on hdd (distros usually disallow to have both installed)22:07
fungiyeah, gpt became necessary long ago for larger disk sizes anyway22:08
fungiso basically everyone needed to start supporting booting from it22:08
hrw>2TB22:09
hrwwhen I switched cirros to use gpt I was able to boot x86, x86-64, aarch64, arm and probably also other archs with bios/uefi/direct-kernel combos (depends on arch)22:10
hrwstill it probably take a year or two before everyone moves to 0.4.0 release ;d22:11
hrwok, time to bed for me - 23:11 here22:11
hrwhave a nice day22:12
fungig'night!22:12
ianwhrw: ok, we might have to sync up soon on what exactly we need as the output for the arm qcow22:12
