Hi, I'm trying to install Proxmox on a server which has uEFI enabled motherboard (and couldn't find a way to disable it).
Right now I could install Debian Wheezy, towards an installation using
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Wheezy
(this is because md is used)

The problem is when installing "pve-kernel-2.6.32-20-pve", which has "grub-pc" as dependency, which in turn and in THIS case conflicts with "grub-efi" (the "grub for EFI").
So, apt's offered solutions are:
1) install Proxmox kernel AND grub-pc: this leaves the machine unbootable
2) keep grub-efi installed without Proxmox kernel: virtualization won't work

My question would be if "grub-efi" can be added to pve-kernel-2.6.32-20-pve dependency list, like "grub-pc | grub-efi" ??? (I guess grub-efi can load Proxmox's kernel, right?)

Any other idea to solve this would be welcome.
Also, this will help Proxmox to become uEFI-compatible :)

Thanks for your help.
