[Bug 1220066] New: grub2-install suggestion doesn't distinguish between BIOS and UEFI installs
by Red Hat Bugzilla 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220066 Bug ID: 1220066 Summary: grub2-install suggestion doesn't distinguish between BIOS and UEFI installs Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Assignee: swadeley(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: swadeley(a)redhat.com ttps://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/System_Administrators_Gu… Section 20.4 and 20.4.1 apply only to BIOS computers, not UEFI. On UEFI: 1. grub2-install fails https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101352 2. If grub2-efi-modules is installed, grub2-install succeeds but then: 2a. This will break UEFI Secure Boot systems because the core.img/grubx64.efi binary that gets created isn't signed and therefore UEFI Secure Boot will reject it. 2b. On UEFI systems without Secure Boot, GRUB behavior is different in a number of ways including that it will no longer look to /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg but rather to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Two ways to fix the documentation: a.) A side bar that says this section doesn't apply to systems with UEFI firmware (maybe a link to where we give them a hint "how to find out what kind of firmware you have"), and/or that this section is effectively done by 20.4.2 step 3. b.) Reorganize 20.4 into discreet BIOS and UEFI sections. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1317222 Bug ID: 1317222 Summary: typo in 2.4.2 IPv6 Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: security-guide Severity: low Assignee: sparks(a)redhat.com Reporter: darthcookient(a)gmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pkennedy(a)redhat.com, security-guide-list(a)redhat.com, sparks(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Description of problem: "...There are some security features that were side effects to NAT; the biggest being that outside traffic cannot make it inside the network unless a port is forwarded across the router. Because IPv6 solves the addressing problem there is no longer a need to use NAT. Everything can have a public IP address and, by extension, everything is not publically routable across the Internet when physical and logical connections are made." Forgive me if I'm wrong but if I understand correctly, this should say: "everything IS publically routable across the Internet when physical..."

[Bug 1221780] New: how to identify firmware types, UEFI vs BIOS
by Red Hat Bugzilla 19 May '16

19 May '16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221780 Bug ID: 1221780 Summary: how to identify firmware types, UEFI vs BIOS Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Assignee: swadeley(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: swadeley(a)redhat.com I'm not finding advice in documentation to identify firmware type. Should we, and if so where should it go? Identifying firmware type comes in handy e.g. reinstalling grub, see bug 1220066. The problem is, users overwhelmingly equate UEFI and BIOS, often referring to it as UEFI BIOS, mainly because OEM's still call firmware updates "BIOS updates". Two possible ways to reliably identify UEFI vs BIOS firmware. On an EFI system: # ls /sys/firmware/efi config_table efivars fw_platform_size fw_vendor runtime runtime-map systab vars On a BIOS system: # ls /sys/firmware/efi ls: cannot access /sys/firmware/efi: No such file or directory ---- On an EFI system: # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 5 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0080 Boot0000* Fedora Boot0080* Mac OS X Boot0082* BootD1A6* AST BootFFFF* On a BIOS system: # efibootmgr efibootmgr: EFI variables are not supported on this system. Unknowns: The first method always works since ls is for sure installed no matter what. I need to test if efibootmgr is always installed, e.g. netinstall (?), it definitely is always installed from lives. But if it's not installed, then it's not a UEFI system. How does coreboot firmware manifest? I think it's mainly a "better BIOS" and should behave as such. ARM firmware? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
