Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:08:50 +1000 From: Chris Jones <chrisjones@...n.net.au> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: UEFI and custom kernel I've been following the news on UEFI and Secureboot pretty closely. Currently Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE have pretty in-depth discussion going on the mailing lists about it all. Although my technical knowledge about UEFI is pretty vague at current, I know a little bit of what it's about. But getting to my question, how will this effect custom Linux kernels? Or will UEFI support (once added) be simply another kernel module that can just be carried over from official upstream kernel versions into a custom set? If custom kernels are going to all be locked out, then this is going to upset a lot of kernel developers, such as I!
