Hi again Tom,
In case you're looking for some other Linux distro that will work with EFI, here's what we've tried and found to include usable EFI support::
- Fedora 11 (32 bit and 64 bit)
- Fedora 12 (32 bit) [the 64 bit release of F12 claims EFI support but has a catastrophic bug in its EFI bootloader]
- Fedora 13 & 14 (32 bit and 64 bit)
- Fedora 15 and newer (64 bit only)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 and newer (64 bit only)
- SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 SP2 and newer (64 bit only)
- RHEL 6.x (64 bit only)
- Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.x (64 bit only)
- Ubuntu 10.10 and newer (64 bit only)
Derivatives/ancestors of the above distributions (i.e. CentOS, Linux Mint, Scientific Linux, etc.) might or might not have EFI support... YMMV.
Although Fusion doesn't officially support virtual EFI firmware for anything other than Mac OS guests, we'd love to hear your feedback nonetheless.
Cheers,
