Description

Hello,

I don't know what happened there, I built a new image with my packages and after rebooting I was stuck in the EFI shell. No trouble, I switched to BIOS and it continue upgrading and worked again. Are there precautions to take for the upgrade to keep UEFI?

Board: "qemu-standard-pc-i440fx-piix-1996"
Running on Proxmox

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the upgrade from OpenWrt 23.05 to 24.10 on the qemu-standard-pc-i440fx-piix-1996 board under Proxmox, comparing the generated UEFI and BIOS images. Done means the custom image boots through UEFI after the upgrade, or the required limitation and precautions are documented.
