Matt Fleming asked me to email describing a problem I am experiencing with the EFI stub loader. Matt has been trying to diagnose the cause of consistent failures of the stub loader in recent kernels on my machine.
Background: All kernels I tried in 3.7.* booted fine using the stub loader (via rEFInd). No kernels tried from 3.8.* through 3.9.* and now into 3.10.* boot using the stub loader. None of the workarounds which others have used work for me. The problem is reproducible using a direct NVRAM entry rather than rEFInd. All kernels boot fine with GRUB. The problem is reproducible with a kernel compiled from git. A series of experiments (following Matt's instructions) have determined that commenting out the call to setup_efi_pc() in eboot.c makes the kernels boot. I would be happy to provide any further information which might be helpful or to run further tests. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
