I have tried few distros looking for one that will handle pretty new hardware. At that point Mageia 7 is working without problems (6.1 couldn't see any video card ).
Now I started looking for possibility of dual boot, but Windows is on UEFI and Mageia on legacy boot.
I tied
- Code: Select all
menuentry 'Windows 10' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ntfs
search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid 0430-8EA2
chainloader (${root})/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
But this give me "signature" error - there is no safeboot option in BIOS, the error looks like GRUB message, I have seen someone mention, that there is possibility of disabling GRUB signature checking, but it was only one place.
I have some kind of dual boot without entering BIOS by enabling legacy boot and setting it as first choice, and second is UEFI using
- Code: Select all
menuentry 'Windows 10' {
insmod part_gpt
insmod ntfs
search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid 0430-8EA2
chainloader +1
}
In this case at first I'm getting error that there is no boot device, after hitting Enter computer reboots using second option from BIOS settings and goes to UEFI device which is Windows, next boot brings GRUB menu again.
I'm just wandering if someone found way to boot both OSs in this kind of scenario, also maybe this way is going to be good enough for someone that got himself into same situation, and does not want to reinstall working system.
