yeh sorry @stevesr0 this should have read.
“but basically im going to make an assumption or 2:
antix 16.1 probably uses uefi boot …antix 17 uefi boot possibly includes MpService protocol”
fixed (i think)
antix 16.1 probably uses uefi boot single thread (which is the exact same way bios/mbr boot works with a single thread).
in which case this statement is correct
“BOTH computers boot in a reasonably short time and the Fujitsu boots FASTER than the Lenovo (24 vs 44 seconds)” and as expected (well at least by me).
Well this is what I thought he meant too
**According to Dolphin_Oracle, syslinux is used on liveUSB running on BIOS system, GRUB2 on UEFI. Thus, booting from the same liveUSB on my two machines uses different bootloaders.
however i might have jumped the gun with this part
“PC’s bios can boot a gpt partition table” and “gpt is supposed to have a “protected mbr” area, that while not a real mbr, will serve the function.”
so from that i kinda got that maybe their is an “if” statement that went something like
if uefi/gpt capable then run eufi/grub2
if gpt capable but not uefi then run uefi/gpt through fake bios/mbr interpreter.
(if i was right in my above belief then the fujitsu (with 2 less usable cores at boot) would actually run slower because of the interpreter).
** I don’t know how respond to that suggestion.
lol you didnt have to, it was only meant to some show of the trippy stuff people do with the grub/lilo/ntldr/syslinux boot loaders.
