That's right. I originally miscommented that I was not running UEFI then later followed up that I was.
Keep in mind that this doesn't mean the UEFI being used is getting the right EFI variables populated on its journey through uboot to a running system. Not all UEFI is equal.
The OS is built to expect ACPI. That reliance will increase as it progresses. As has been suggested previously, you should really consider moving to a supported boot platform rather than chainloading. There are a number of improvements in the new official AMI firmwares that the distro takes advantage of.
Thanks for chiming in, Jim.
I was not aware that the chainloading boot method was unsupported or problematic.
Are there good docs out there to help me understand the process of replacing U-Boot with a supported method? I assume I won't need to reinstall my OS, just some sort of reflashing then pointing to GRUB?
