Installing BL in a UEFI system with no CSM/Legacy mode

joshsg3 · 2016-02-08 12:42:15

Hey all
So, I have a transformer pad t100 from asus, and since I am re-doing it since windows screwed itself, I was hoping to put bunsenlabs on, but, the issue is, so I want to dual boot it with windows eventually, and for installing anything, my tablet only has uefi support, no csm or legacy mode, and as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a way to install bunsen on it without I guess waiting for a release with uefi in the installer, so, what can I do?, any workarounds?

thanks
Josh

Use one of the unofficial Debian ISO images with the non-free firmware included:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unoff … -firmware/

This will install a UEFI system automagically.

In the tasksel stage of the installer, un-check all the tickboxes except the "Standard System Utilities" to ensure that no graphical desktop is installed.

When the installer has finished, reboot into the (console only) system and download and run johnraff's BunsenLabs install script, as outlined here:
https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-netinstall

The steps are:

wget https://github.com/bunsenlabs/bunsen-netinstall/archive/master.tar.gz
tar -xpf master.tar.gz
cd bunsen-netinstall-master
./install

I think the Debian installer should leave you with a functioning internet connection for the console session.

If it doesn't, edit the file at /etc/network/interfaces and add your connection details.

For wireless, it would look like this:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
   wpa-ssid $SSID
   wpa-psk $PASSWORD

Replace $SSID with the name of your access point (use `iwlist scan wlan0|grep SSID` to list access points) and replace $PASSWORD with your, er, password.

Then use this to bring the connection up:

sudo ifup wlan0

For a wired connecton, this is all you need to do:

ip l set eth0 up
dhclient eth0

wow, nice, thanks, will do that when I get the chance
I'm assuming that the debian iso should come with drivers enough to at least get the integrated wireless working

Yes, provided you use the "non-free" ISO image I have linked to above

Very concise - it should be a sticky HowTo

Can we just sticky this thread?

@OP: I have expanded the title of the thread to make it easier to find in search engines, I hope you don't mind.

Unstickying this, we have our UEFI bootable test images out now and our future full-sized ISOs will also boot into a UEFI system (we hope!)...
