GRUB2 UEFI BIOS l 8 weeks 2 days ago

I'm using a M5A97 R2.0 (so very very similar AFAICT looking at the Asus website). It will boot UEFI or MBR and you can switch off SecureBoot in the BIOS. You may need to get the latest BIOS from Asus to get the SecureBoot options. I'm using it in UEFI mode without SecureBoot and it's been fine.

Canonical has been researching on UEFI SecureBoot for quite some time and now they have proposed a new solution to implement it.

Intel's efilinux loader with some modifications will be used instead of GRUB 2 to add a relatively simple menu interface.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 with a LiveUSB. I have windows 8 preinstalled and am trying to dual boot on UEFI.

A pochi giorni di distanza dal post in cui Matthew Garret nel suo blog argomentava la propria opinione sul caso UEFI e SecureBoot, affermando che l’acquisto delle chiavi da Microsoft sarebbe stata l’unica soluzione attualmente praticabile – scatenando non poche polemiche – è intervenuta Red Hat per chiarire la posizione su questa faccenda in veste del vicepresidente Tim Bur

Tra apparenti smentite e conferme su quanto riguarda il tanto temuto UEFI con il supporto a SecureBoot negli ultimi mesi, arriva un post di Matthew Garret, sviluppatore Linux per RedHat, a creare non poco scompiglio. Nell’articolo si parla dell’implementazione di SecureBoot in Fedora 18 e secondo lo stesso Garrett, la soluzione meno peggiore e più funzionale consisterebbe nell’av

I'm planning to buy a new laptop in the coming days, and I'm quite impressed with new, cool Ultrabooks. As a long-time GNU/Linux user, I'll of course install a distro of my choice on it.

Chances are I'll have to buy a computer with Windows 8 pre-installed; and chances are it will run UEFI and have "secure boot", on which non-signed kernels won't boot.

Question to anybody that just know's alot...

On an Asus x202e touch screen notebook with UEFI/GPT : the new stuff, If you remove the HDD that has Win 8 preloaded and replace it with another HDD or SSD = new out the box from Computer store, do you still have the problem with secureboot?
