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

[Samuel Williams]

** Description changed:

  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.
+ As far as I know, the default is to have this enabled. Here is another
+ x86 Ubuntu install:
+ 
+ # uname -a
+ Linux xxxxx 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
+ 
+ # cat /boot/config-2.6.28-11-generic | grep EFI
+ CONFIG_EFI=y
+ CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
+ CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y
+ CONFIG_FB_EFI=y
  
  Thanks for your time.
