The computer is an Acer Predator G3620. BIOS is AMI P11-A3, build date 2012-10-18. BIOS Setup Utility is Acer Inc. v2.15.1227. >From the registration site http://www.uefi.org/specs/esp_registry Acer is not in that list. Neither is Toshiba, as reported in bug #708430. Additionally, Debian is not in that list either, shouldn't they be if installing EFI code in /boot/efi/EFI/debian? FYI: There is no copy of bootx64.efi in /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/, it was only present in /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/, now replaced my me with grubx64.efi. *.efi files at .../EFI/Microsoft/Boot are: bootmgr.efi, bootgmfw.efi and mentest.efi (together with several other files/directories) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
