Re: EFI Partition not ESP flagged

Hello,


thank you for your hint.

I now have the following config

disk_config disk1  disklabel:gpt  fstabkey:uuid  align-at:1M bootable:2
#           
primary  /boot1024ext3   defaults
primary  /boot/efi  512M    vfat   rw
primary - 95-100% - -

disk_config disk2  disklabel:gpt  fstabkey:uuid
primary - 95-100% - -

This marks the partition two now boot flaged but the first partition is 
also boot flaged


I am worried

Karsten,

What's your disk_config line?  If you declare a partition to be bootable, for 
example with:

disk_config disk1 disklabel:gpt bootable:2

then setup-storage will do the equivalent of

parted -s /dev/sda set 2 boot on

On GPT, parted treats as an alias for "esp" 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/set.html), so it should give that 
partition the ESP GUID.

Hello,

I think we have found the cause with the dualboot Problem.
If an encrypted installation is selected, the problem with the incorrectly set 
flag also occurs.
I think the problem is caused by a change in partitioning

Normal Partitioning Single without encryption

primary   /boot/efi 512Mvfat   rw (gets the ESP Flag)
primary   / 8G- ext4   defaults
primary   swap  8G  swap   sw

Encrypted partitioning:

primary  /boot  1024ext3   defaults
primary  /boot/efi  512Mvfat   rw
primary - 95-100% - -


I hope this helps you to understand my problem

Hello together,

I have done a dualboot installation (Windows on the first partitions and Linux 
on the last partition)
Now the EFI Partition is not ESP flagged and some packages can't be installed.
So I am searching how to fix this issue, but I didn't find the right files to 
change it.
I hope you can help me.

thanksfully

I think we have found the cause with the dualboot Problem.
If an encrypted installation is selected, the problem with the 
incorrectly set flag also occurs.
