I will get that added to the defect 16:44:53 <cov> what makes LK insane? 16:45:10 <cov> the Android boot format isn't all that different than UEFI's system partition style 16:45:32 <pbrobinson> cov: the q-boot stuff is quite weird compared to either u-boot or uEFI 16:45:51 <cov> I'm not familiar with q-boot 16:46:50 <cov> would you rather see uboot or UEFI chainloaded, instead of Grub? 16:47:56 <pbrobinson> cov: I don't particularly care, if we get u-boot or uEFI we can then do standard process 16:48:13 <pbrobinson> IE it's then no different than any other device 16:50:27 <cov> okay thanks 16:51:45 <pbrobinson> anything else from anyone else? 16:52:24 <pwhalen> if anyone has anything else, please drop in #fedora-arm, we can continue there. 16:52:26 <pwhalen> #endmeeting
