Describe the bug
Unable to boot live iso in uefi due to firmware being unable to recognize the kernel as a uefi executable
To Reproduce
- put iso in usb
- boot into uefi shell
- try to let it boot via startup.nsh
Expected behavior
being able to boot in uefi mode
Logs
Additional context
trying with MocaccinoOS-XFCE-0.20230707.iso.tar.xz from 1.3 github release
the only uefi related file is startup.nsh containing commands to launch the kernel
I've attempted to run the kernel manually from the shell without success either
the use of startup.nsh is usually reserved for efi shells and such, most systems recognize bootable .efi files
Rufus only offers mbr/bios for the partition table meaning it does not detect uefi in the iso
As we talked about on the telegram chan. This happens with older firmware that is unable to handle EFI stub.
To me it looks like we have CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled: https://github.com/mocaccinoOS/desktop/blob/62ad7c54bec8b01ed86d93d34d3cc44498fd9744/packages/kernels/kernels/mocaccino/kernel/mocaccino-x86_64.config#L466, @Juesto can you provide a bit more context? what is the hw specs here? can you reproduce with modern HW?
