is UEFI required?
by dchmelik from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HSR0)
My PC is set to classic BIOS mode but capable of UEFI... is this why booting Fedora GNU/Linux 39 crashes? I've been told contradicting things by different people (and maybe same will happen here) that in recent Fedora versions UEFI is or isn't required if the computer is capable.
Don't ask me for log/report because as soon as someone on a Fedora Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel told me UEFI is required, I erased Fedora and replaced it with RHEL GNU/Linux clone Rocky (CentOS) successor, though if UEFI wasn't the problem I'm willing to try Fedora again.
Of course, I boot these RedHat variants from Slackware GNU/Linux's GRUB2 and noticed this doesn't work for Rocky, only when you use its own GRUB2 installation, so something may be similar for Fedora? Are there many configuration & kernel parameters other GNU/Linux may not be able to detect? I don't have this problem booting OpenSUSE, Debian/Devuan/Ubuntu/Neon/Mint, Gentoo, Arch, etc., all which don't have non-standard configuration that can't be detected.
