CentOS - Feb 2014 - UEFI booting

Hi All,

I received a Intel Nuc D34010WYK. nice and small.
I installed 6.5 x86_64 on it in LEGACY boot mode on the mSATA disk.
All worked except sound.

In process of trying to get that working I saw posts about
Need to not use LEGACY boot mode for HDMI sound to work.

I am trying to find a document on how to use the UEFI boot on 6.5
Any great resource out there for that?

Thanks,

Jerry

There's this document:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/ch-Boot-x86.html

The important thing is that you need to install the OS with the firmware 
that you want to run the system with, so you'll need to re-install the 
system using the UEFI boot mode to boot your installation media in order 
to get the system going with UEFI.

Hi Jerry,

As UEFI and LEGACY mode installations are hardware features, you need to go
through the systems BIOS settings where you can find installation method
settings, then flip the method from LEGACY to UEFI . You need to reinstall
the OS after making this change.

Thanks,
