[Bug 394884] [NEW] PowerPC build does not have EFI Partitions enabled by default

[Samuel Williams]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu PowerPC version from here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/jaunty/release/ubuntu-9.04
-server-powerpc.iso

Installed kernel version is: 2.6.28-6-powerpc

Unfortunately:

samuel at haru:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.28-6-powerpc | grep EFI
# CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION is not set

This can make life very difficult. It means you can't mount GPT
partitions under PPC Ubuntu which I personally think should be possible,
as it is possible to create them on other versions of Ubuntu. I ended up
recompiling the kernel with this option.

As far as I know, the default is to have this enabled.

Thanks for your time.
