What's wrong with EFI?
- rwmj 15y agoIncredible complex. Rarely works. Doesn't solve any problems of the BIOS (with the exception of the 2TB disk limit, but that could have been solved more easily).

- rwmj 15y agoEFI on Macbooks broke CD-ROM booting, which is pretty fundamental I'd say. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527443 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527443
