UEFI already acts as a boot loader and in general it's not required or sensible to chain several boot loaders. If the kernel is compiled with EFI_STUB (most modern kernels are) the UEFI can directly load the kernel. –Marco May 25 '13 at 13:39 @Marco So what should i do when i install CentOS 6.4 ? not to install grub ? But does it give me the option to do that ? –Rafael Adel May 25 '13 at 13:43 I don't know about CentOS, but on Debian the grub package is not required. In any case, even if you installed grub, you can use efibootmgr to add the kernel to your UEFI boot menu to directly boot the kernel and bypass grub. The only thing to do after a kernel update is to copy the new kernel from /boot/vmlinuz-version to /boot/efi/EFI/foo/vmlinuz-version.efi and run efibootmgr to point to the new version, but that's a simple shell three-liner. –Marco May 25 '13 at 13:47 @Marco Sorry i'm kinda beg
