Subject: efibootmgr freeze system when creating boot entry Package: efibootmgr Version: 0.5.4-7 Severity: important
Dear Maintainer, I'm trying to install Debian on Inel UEFI board. The system freezes completely at the end of install phase, when grub (or elilo) tries to create boot menu entry in UEFI BIOS. I've already tried different versions of efibootmgr (from Debian Wheezy, Jessie, also from Ubuntu 13.10 and OpenSuSE 13.1) to no avail. If I run efibootmgr without arguments it works and displays current boot entries. If I understand correctly read works, but not write. The efivars module is loaded: root@goliath:~# lsmod | grep efivars efivars 17257 1 efi_pstore There is many entries in /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ The motherboard is Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Latest firmware update is installed on this board. My current workaround is to install system without bootloader, boot from live USB, comment out efibootmgr calls in /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/grub-install, run grub-install, reboot, manually create EFI boot entry in BIOS setup menu. What can I do to debug this issue? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-2-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages efibootmgr depends on: ii libc6 2.17-93 ii libpci3 1:3.2.0-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 efibootmgr recommends no packages. efibootmgr suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
