Is it possible to add support for 32-bit UEFI in the x86_64 version of installer? There are some laptops (for example - Irbis NB43) with 32-bit UEFI support only. These laptops do not support either the CSM boot mode or the boot via grubx64.efi, but support boot via grubia32.efi, which also can boot x86_64 systems. Of course, these laptops have 64-bit Intel Atom CPUs (Bay Trail).
AFAIK this already should work on the current beta3 isos

No worries, thanks for confirming that it works.
(In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #1) > AFAIK this already should work on the current beta3 isos Do I take it that our 64-bit ISOs now support EFI systems with 32-bit firmware? That would be wonderful. Is it in Release Notes? As Artem says, these wretched things do exist; it would be a Mageia '+'. I begged a 'special' for Mageia 6 Xfce for an ASUS x205. It was a small fiddle, and worked a treat; although I cannot remember whether it was a 64-bit system adapted for 32-bit EFI, or an adapted 32-bit system (which did not work out-of-the-box for Grub2 installation).
