I tried to reinstall on one of my machines today and afterwards it would no longer boot with UEFI.
This machine had OI installed from a 2023 image using UEFI with legacy mode disabled. It installed and booted using UEFI back then. I did not do anything manually to get this to work. After installing with the latest installer image (using the GUI installer) it appears that UEFI support is no longer working correctly. I found that despite booting the installer USB in UEFI mode, the installation it created (I selected "use full disk") was actually using an MBR partition table with no EFI partition - this is why I couldn't boot after installing. After enabling legacy mode, I could boot this new installation. This seems to be a regression and a fairly significant issue, as many new systems don't have a legacy mode at all. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it a quirk with my machine and newer snapshots? Any idea how to get the installer to use UEFI mode or find out why it is incorrectly deciding to do a legacy install? If this is reproducible, then we should update the docs with any workarounds, else many people will end up with new installations that won't boot.
