#1983 No documentation on how to build UEFI disk images
Opened by djuarezg. Modified

Close Issue

There is no doc on how to proceed to build disk images (https://docs.pagure.org/koji/image_build/) for UEFI machines, i.e. UEFI partitioning, any requirement on the machine for building such images... etc

How does Koji use ImgFactory for the QEMU VM spawning? How could we configure it to spawn an UEFI VM instead?

@breilly Can you look at this?

Metadata Update from @tkopecek:
- Custom field Size adjusted to None

Just to let you know that if only BIOS is supported, this can be a problem when future machines are UEFI only. You cannot install GRUB2 EFI bootloader correctly in a BIOS machine.

I believe, that imagefactory can't create UEFI, but it is just a guess.

@tkopecek Imagefactory uses Oz, and https://github.com/clalancette/oz/pull/280 would actually allow to do so. Documenting that after merge would be ideal.

Makes sense - we will see, how the oz ownership evolve.

Please continue any further discussion there.
