Announcing the Fedora BIOS boot SIG

May 20, 2022 12:17

Now that FESCo has decided that Fedora will keep supporting BIOS booting, the people working on Fedora's bootloader stack will need help from the Fedora community to keep Fedora booting on systems which require Legacy BIOS to boot.

To help with this the Fedora BIOS boot SIG (special interest group) has been formed. The main goal of this SIG are to help the Fedora bootloader people by:
  1. Doing regular testing of nightly Fedora N + 1 composes on hardware
    which only supports BIOS booting
  2. Triaging and/or fixing BIOS boot related bugs.
A biosboot-sig@lists.fedoraproject.org mailinglist and bugzilla account has been created, which will be used to discuss testing result and as assignee / Cc for bootloader bugzillas which are related to BIOS booting.

If you are interested in helping with Fedora BIOS boot support please:
  1. Subscribe to the email-list
  2. Add yourself to the Members section of the SIG's wiki page
