Package: partman-efi
Severity: wishlist
When attempting to install Jessie (daily snapshot from today) on
arm64, with an already partitioned disk without an EFI System
Partition, the following dialogue appears:
---
│ This machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it │
│ looks like there may be existing operating systems already installed │
│ using "BIOS compatibility mode". If you continue to install Debian in │
│ UEFI mode, it might be difficult to reboot the machine into any │
┌│ BIOS-mode operating systems later. │
│ │ │
│ │ If you wish to install in UEFI mode and don't care about keeping the │
│ │ ability to boot one of the existing systems, you have the option to │
│ │ force that here. If you wish to keep the option to boot an existing │
│ │ operating system, you should choose NOT to force UEFI installation │
└│ here. │
│ │
│ Force UEFI installation? │
---
Since there never existed a "BIOS compatibility mode" on arm64, this
message is quite misleading.
Could we simply suppress this message on non-x86? Lack of an EFI
system partition would make itself known later on anyway.
