Package: grub2-common Version: 2.04-20 Severity: important Hopefully the subject tells the tale. Due to some odd hardware, I need to force `grub-install` to install the EFI version of GRUB into the MBR/boot area gap. Unfortunately the documentation suggest none of `grub-install`'s options can get this result. As a result I've got a problem.
The background: I'm trying to get GRUB installed on a very popular ARM64 device which has a full Tianocore/UEFI image available. Unfortunately while it is full Tianocore, the device lacks any private NVRAM and thus is unable to store EFI variables. `grub-install` tries to do a "normal" UEFI installation, which fails due to lack of EFI variables. As a result I need GRUB to install in the MBR/GPT gap, but none of `grub-install`'s options appear to cause this. Plan B might be to remove the EFI System UUID from the boot area, but this solution seems wrong. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445
