I have been running UEFI boot for about 10 years. It's fairly mature technology now.So is IPv6 but Android don't support it fully.
Seriously though although I'm not using UEFI in my main rig, almost all my other computers already do UEFI, I can also create a UEFI virtual machine and Blind Testing 1.1.0 all works.. (1.0.0 don't work though as I forgot to include the files to make UEFI boot possible).
As mentioned previously to get the 1.1.0 ISO to boot:
The advantage of Snakeoil is it's not locked down in anyway. A trick you can do is to install Snakeoil on a BIOS machine, then bring the SSD over to your UEFI computer, and do a repair to convert it to UEFI. See this article. For this to work, you'd still need criteria #2 (the same article will describe how to disable secure boot).
- The UEFI must support booting up the ISO as a CD-ROM
- The UEFI must allow unsecure/unsigned ISOs to boot.
There may be a time when computers have secure boot turned on. Just have to see what happens then.
I will play around some more. I spent a couple weeks trying already for the Minnowboard with no luck. It seems like if RUFUS doesn't recognize it as UEFI bootable, either does the computer.
I have tried with Secure boot off as well.
I'm going to try the trick in the screenshot. How do I get to this in Snakeoil?
