On x230 limine doesn't load if CSM is turned on

[programmerlexi]

On a Thinkpad x230 limine does not load if CSM is turned on.

Basically the inverse of #417.

Hello, thanks for reporting this. Do you have any other info to add? Like precise firmware settings used, the way Limine was installed on the boot medium, etc.

[programmerlexi]

Limine was installed on a USB.
Limine 8.6.1 from nixpkgs was used.

Firmware Settings:

• UEFI only
• CSM on
• Boot mode is set to quick (Diagnostic doesn't visually change anything)

On boot only a black screen is shown.

Legacy only with CSM on works fine.

Secure boot is disabled

The bios is on an old version (2.50)

How was it installed on the USB?

[programmerlexi]

By making an iso using xorriso and putting that on the USB.

xorriso -as mkisofs -b boot/limine/limine-bios-cd.bin \
    	-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
    	--efi-boot boot/limine/limine-uefi-cd.bin \
    	-efi-boot-part --efi-boot-image --protective-msdos-label \
        iso_root -o image.iso

[mintsuki]

Did you run limine bios-install image.iso afterwards on the created image?

[programmerlexi]

yes
