Installer algorithm wrong.
Asked by
Robert Pearson
I have read that currently the Linux installer checks to see how the installation media was booted. If it booted as legacy BIOS it installs Linux as legacy BIOS bootable. If it is booted as UEFI, then it installs as UEFI bootable.
This algorithm is valid as long as the target hard drive is 2 TB or smaller. I
f the the drive is larger that 2 TB it must use a GUID Partition Table and boot with UEFI. Now that 3 TB and 4 TB drives are getting cheaper, the algorithm needs to be brought up to 2005 standards and install as UEFI regardless of how the installation media was booted.
