It is just hard to test because to surely distinguish it from the EFI theory i would have to put the drive into a BIOS computer and check whether the behavior changes. Currently i am not ready to shut down the machine. But when i do, i will make some experiments and maybe even break out the screw driver. (Being entirely softwerker this is not my usual habit.)

If it is an EFI runtime feature it might be not present before GRUB2 starts. I will also try a non-Debian rescue system for BIOS. Any constellation were the drive tray stays out will free LG drive firmware from suspicion. ------------------------------------------------------------ At Linux runtime there seems to be few opportunity to access EFI. According to https://firmware.intel.com/blog/accessing-uefi-variables-linux and my kernel version 3.16.0-4-amd64, i should have the modern efivarfs. lsmod reports efivarfs 12902 0 but there is no directory /sys/firmware/efi. If i do mkdir /mnt/efivars mount -t efivarfs none /mnt/efivars i get mount: unknown filesystem type 'efivarfs' ------------------------------------------------------------ Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
