can geexbox v2.0 for PC support EFI boot ?
i read .config (linux.conf) on geexbox source, EFI set to Yes,
I tried to boot geexbox on a X86 7″ Digital Photo Frame named O2 joggler, but no more action after read vmlinuz and initrd.
I downloded kernel 2.6.38.8 from kernel.org, and add some configurations ,made kernel again, joggler can boot now , but some error can be seen “can’t find valid root filesystem”. Does kernel source need auf patch?
where to download geexbox kernel source or patch? Only hg clone?
Think you for giving some tips , thinks a lot in advance!
by the way , ubuntu, Mint,CDlinux, fedora, archlinux,Android and windows Xp can boot on O2 joggler,run very well.

EFI boot was added after 2.0
test this iso (devel) : http://download.geexbox.org/releases/extra/i386/geexbox-devel-20111026-r13362-i386.iso

Note that even in devel, EFI boot will work only if you either boot from a CD, or if you format a USB key as FAT and copy the ISO contents onto it. It will not work when using dd or unetbootin to create the USB key.
