Hi, |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I tried installing UEFI GPT too a few months ago, but I had a semi success. |
| 25 |
After some days of fiddeling around with parameters and variables I could |
| 26 |
boot the system, but I can't see the kernel output or open-rc. But the X |
| 27 |
loads and the system works after that like normal, but without the textual |
| 28 |
ttys. terminal emulations like xterm or so work. So I would install it |
| 29 |
again, but it isn't as easy as thought. |
