Using the EFI Stub Loader: Three Configuration Options

-

The EFI stub loader is basic and reliable, but it requires some setup to use it on some computers. I describe three methods of using it: an easiest method for those with compatible partition and filesystem layouts, a quick test configuration for those without such a layout, and a long-term setup for those without the ideal setup.

The EFI stub loader is basic and reliable, but it requires some setup to use it on some computers. It also requires that you run a kernel with the same bit width as your EFI. In most cases, this means running a 64-bit kernel, since 32-bit EFI-based computers are so rare. I describe three methods of using the EFI stub loader: an easiest method for those with compatible partition and filesystem layouts, a quick test configuration for those without such a layout, and a long-term setup for those without the ideal setup.
