I have not only read about, I also tested. This is my setup, and it
works perfectly:
- Asus board (with UEFI and BIOS mode)
- SSD with GPT
- installed Debian as usual with grub-pc
- no special EFI boot partition or whatever
Boots perfectly in BIOS mode.
I tried about 5 variants of installing Debian with UEFI on it, without
success. Ubuntu on the other hand installed in a few minutes with UEFI,
is part of the installer and a walk in the park. Debian is not there yet.
In the end I went for BIOS mode because I wanted Debian and the boot
time is great. There is no benefit in UEFI when it comes to boot times,
at least not for the regular single/multi boot user.
Just my 2c.
