UEFI implementations are a bugfest, with every other board exhibiting a new idiosyncrasy.
I probably don't even remember half of the bugs I've encountered.
My favorite one was when the integrated EFI shell wouldn't scroll, so every new line would just print over the previous one.
The most obnoxious and common is hardcoding the boot path to be "\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi", ignoring what the boot entry says on that matter.

- blattimwind 8y agoMost recent bug: UEFI ignores POST timeout and basically skips it when a specific SATA drive is connected.
- Tsiklon 8y agoI've ever seen \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi used as a last resort used if the system's entries don't point to a valid loader. Pretty grim if that was all your system would allow you to use.
