The debian entry that was made during install broke eighter on windows install or Asus boot menu just wouldn't get it running. I wasn't sure could I use efi recovery boot selection to install grub again automatically? Does it work so or is it just for manual recovery with the system loaded as efi and using console to setup grub again?
Anyhow I got it working now all together. Grub2-efi is loading at first and then I can chainload win7 bootloader. The installer and grub probe didn't find the win7 automatically though. Now efibootmgrs got the debian entry that was generated at install as 2 but it didn't work after windows install. I got it working after making a new entry 0000 for Uefi and installing grub again with these instructions. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=81120 The output now: BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 3 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0002,0003,0005,0001 Boot0000* Debian GNU/Linux Boot0001 Hard Drive Boot0002* debian Boot0003* Windows Boot Manager Boot0005* CD/DVD Drive I also read somewhere that I might run into trouble again when Win7 updates itself. So I think I will keep your efi install cd near and use it for recovering again if I run into trouble. :) -- Mika On Sun, Sep 2, 2012 at 7:05 PM, Steve McIntyre <st...@einval.com> wrote: > Mika Rastas wrote: > >Nice work Steve, > > *grin* Thanks! > > >And just in time for me.
