Hi Mike,
Does this topic of yours infer that LL2.6 64-bit is not UEFI enabled for either Live or Installed use and that another UEFI enabled distribution needs to be used to enable LL2.6 64-bit to be used in UEFI mode?
I have my Laptop configured for Dual Booting with Windows 8.1 Pro and I've tested several different Linux distributions on it with a Live USB with the following configuration.
In the Startup section for UEFI I have Secure Boot disabled along with the following.
The other options for UEFI/Legacy Boot are Both and Legacy Only.
Installed distributions I have used include Linux Mint 16, Manjaro Xfce 0.8.10, Manjaro Xfce+Ob 0.9.0 OpenRC and Calculate Linux 15 for which the respective Live USBs worked with the above UEFI configuration.
Here's the output for fdisk -l.
/dev/sda7 is actually the Manjaro Xfce 0.8.10 install that is borked somewhat.
/dev/sda4 is the Windows 8.1 installation.
Thanks, MTB.
