I've yet to own a UEFI motherboard without a few glitches. I never had these problems with the BIOS...


I had. For example, HP EliteBook 8470p claims the drive is not bootable if there is a DOS partition table where no partition is marked bootable (I think it shouldn't parse the partition table at all, just check the magic and execute the first sector).

What glitches have you seen (so I'm prepared when I meet them)?
