Description Pascal Terjan 2020-01-01 23:34:09 CET 
Trying to use Mageia 7 aarch64 kernel on A1 EC2 machine fails with:
error: plain Image kernel not supported - rebuild with CONFIG_(U)EFI_STUB enabled

This comes from https://github.com/rhboot/grub2/blob/master/grub-core/loader/arm64/linux.c#L57

Looking at EFI lines in a working kernel and ours:

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
