10 Miscellaneous test results
11 ==========================
13 * With Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, the UEFI nightly release does work, while it didn't
14 work previously.
15 * boots on ThinkPad X220 (syslinux 6.02+dfsg-1 and
16 3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-1~bpo60+1) in UEFI mode
17 * ThinkPad X230 (syslinux 3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-1~bpo60+1):
18 - boots fine in UEFI mode, but displays the syslinux menu very much
19 translated to the top: one can see the two menu entries, but
20 nothing else, so if one must edit the kernel command-line, they
21 have to do it blindly
22 - boots fine in Legacy BIOS mode, so at least we have no hardware
23 support regression here
24 * boots on ThinkPenguin Royal (syslinux 6.02+dfsg-1 and
25 6.03~pre1+dfsg-1)
26 * boots on MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012 9,2 (EFI 2.9), and MacBook Pro
27 13-inch Late 2011 8,1 (EFI 2.7), both with and without rEFInd *if*
28 `menu background splash.png` is removed from `stdmenu.cfg`; adding
29 `menu resolution 640 480` before `menu background` makes the menu
30 display "correctly" (only taking 1/4 of the screen, but oh well),
31 *but* the system does not boot; without rEFInd, one has to press Alt
32 before powering the laptop up, and keep it pressed until a menu
33 appears, and then choose the entry that's called *Boot EFI* (as
34 every other entry) and looks like a USB stick.
35 * on MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012 with rEFInd, one has to choose
36 *Fallback boot loader from Tails* in rEFInd to boot, as the *Boot
37 Linux from Tails* entry does nothing at all (syslinux 6.02+dfsg-1
38 and 6.03~pre1+dfsg-1)
39 * The ThinkPenguin Royal does not detect the bootloader if installed
40 as `EFI/Tails/syslinux.efi`; hence the use of the fallback bootloader
41 path (`BOOT/bootx64.efi`), which should work on more hardware.
42 * tails-i386-feature_uefi-0.23-20131222T0855Z-8acf864.iso
43 boots fine on a Apple MacBook Air 13" mid 2011 (MacBookAir4,2)
44 once installed with Tails Installer
45 * MacBook Pro 15-inch Mid 2010 (6,2) boots fine with rEFInd and
46 tails-i386-feature_uefi-0.23-20131222T0855Z-8acf864.iso, *if* `menu
47 background splash.png` is removed from `stdmenu.cfg`; if one
48 adds `menu resolution 640 480` before `menu background`, the system
49 does not boot.
50 * Lenovo ThinkPad X130e:
51 tails-i386-feature_uefi-0.23-20140104T0920Z-3305611.iso boots fine.
52 * Lenovo E325: tails-i386-feature_uefi-0.23-20140104T0920Z-3305611.iso
53 boots fine.
54 * MacBook Air Original (1,1): one has to press Esc twice in rEFInd to
55 have it see the USB stick; then, rEFInd apparently loads syslinux,
56 that fails to display its menu, even after commenting out most
57 menu-related setting that has to do with color or positioning.
58 Finally, Tails does not boot.
59 * ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. X55VD: boots fine with `menu background
60 splash.png` removed (both with CSM enabled and disabled); only boots
61 in CSM mode with `menu background splash.png` kept in place
62 * Boots fine on ThinkPad W520 (tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.0-20140324T1026Z-dd350d4.iso).
63 * Boots fine on Lenovo ThinkPad E320 (tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.1-20140407T1357Z-02a2adf)
64 * Boots fine on Macbook Pro 11,3 (15 Inch Retina-Late 2013)
65 * Boots fine on Late 2013 Macbook Pro 13" Retina
66 * Boots fine on Macbook Air 3,1 in UEFI mode
67 * Boots fine on HP/Compaq 6330s in UEFI mode
68 * ThinkCentre M82 boots fine with:
69 - an alpha generation (isohybrid + dd) USB stick
70 - a beta generation (prepared with Tails Installer) USB stick in
71 both UEFI and "legacy" BIOS mode
72 * Boots fine on ASUS 701 (eeepc).
73 * Boots fine on Acer Aspire E1-531 (V2.09, EFI v2.31) in UEFI mode.
74 * Boots fine on MacBookPro8,1 (Early 2011, Model A1278).
75 * Boots fine on Gateway NE56R w/ Bios V2.13 in UEFI mode, with Secure
76 Boot disabled. Doesn't boot (as expected) with Secure Boot enabled.
77 * Boots fine on Hewlett-Packard Presario CQ57
78 * Boots fine on Apple MacBook Air 3,2 A1369 EMC 2392, with rEFInd
79 0.7.8 installed, when installed with isohybrid + dd.
80 * Boots fine on ASUS ux31a
81 - in CSM mode, when installed with isohybrid + dd
82 - in UEFI mode, when installed with Tails Installer
83 * Boots fine on Lenovo Thinkpad T400.
84 * Boots fine on Mac Mini 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7 from DVD, and from USB
85 stick created with Tails Installer.
86 * Boots fine on MacBookAir5,1 from DVD, and from USB stick created
87 with Tails Installer on the same machine.
88 * Boots fine from DVD on VirtualBox 4.3.10-dfsg-1~bpo70+1 (as of commit e0a3c64
89 in `feature/uefi`).
90 * Boots fine on Lenovo G700.
91 * Boots fine from DVD on Lenovo B570.
92 * Boots fine from DVD on Lenovo Z61t.
93 * Boots fine from DVD on HP Pavilion dm4-1150ca.
94 * Boots fine on Asus Z87 Pro motherboard (Tails 1.1~beta1) off a USB
95 stick installed with Tails Installer.
97 # Tests with syslinux 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1~bpo70+1
99 * MacBookPro 13-inch Late 2011 8,1. All what follows is using a USB
100 device installed with Tails Installer, using an experimental ISO
101 (20140731) with syslinux 3:6.03~pre18+dfsg-1~bpo70+1. The same
102 computer boots Tails 1.1 just fine.
103 - boots just fine with the default configuration
104 - uncommenting `menu background splash.png` in
105 `EFI/BOOT/stdmenu.cfg` => stuck at the Mac boot menu
106 - same as above, and add `MENU RESOLUTION 1024 768` to
107 `EFI/BOOT/tails.cfg` => displayed *once* the syslinux boot menu
108 with the expected background image, can edit the kernel cmdline,
109 but does not boot (display stuck at the syslinux menu); and then
110 I can't reproduce it, and it's stuck at the Mac boot menu, like
111 when `MENU RESOLUTION 1024 768` wasn't here.
112 - same as above, but with `MENU RESOLUTION 640 480`
113 => stuck at the Mac boot menu
114 * TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z830: boots fine with `isohybrid --entry 4 --type
115 0x1c` and a <1GB ISO.
116 * TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z930: boots fine from a stick installed with Tails
117 Installer (from DVD), while it did not boot with Tails 1.1.
118 * ThinkPad X61, EeePC Seashell series, VirtualBox 4.3.14-dfsg-1 (MBR):
119 status quo, works just as fine as before
120 * ASUSTeK UX31E: works fine, while it required manual selection in
121 BIOS in Tails 1.1.
122 * Mid-2012 Mac Pro (6-core 3.33Ghz 32GB memory): boots fine from DVD
123 * Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro 6,2): boots fine from DVD
124 * Lenovo x61s: boots fine from manually installed USB stick
125 * Macbook pro early 2008 (4,1): boots fine from DVD.
