In fact, it's not actually the USB boot that's the problem, but CD boot. Because UEFI CD booting is handled using El Torito multicatalog support - there are legacy 32-bit BIOSes that don't implement this part of the El Torito standard correctly, and fall over hilariously when more than one boot catalog is present. So adding UEFI to the i386 images would introduce regressions that it's not worth tracking down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025555 Title: Ubuntu i386 images are not compatible with recent (UEFI) computers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1025555/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
