 Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2017 12:47 am Post subject: Grub 2 not installing entry on EFI |
 |
|
I have a new Alienware R3 13 inch laptop with Windows 10 on a NVMe ssd drive.
I have secure mode off in bios, along with UEFI activated.
Following the AMD64 handbook, I mounted /dev/nvmeo0n1p1 mounted to /boot.
I ran echo 'GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf.
I also ran grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
I see a gentoo directory in /boot/EFI/ along with windows directory.
The issue is that grub is not truly installing a partition in EFI. I say this because efibootmgr does not show the linux partition. What is strange, though, I see a 002 partition missing in the photo of my screen shot. I see a 000 windows partition and a 003 nic partition, but it looks like there is a missing 002 partition.
Any ideas what is wrong? I'm pretty stuck.

does windows still boot?
do you want to keep windows and dual boot?
what livecd/liveusb did you use to do your install?
are you sure the livecd/usb was booted in uefi mode when you entered the chroot?
recommend using wgetpaste instead of pictures to provide file content and and command output. more data and more readability.

Yes, windows 10 still boots with no issues.
Yes, this is my gaming laptop so I want to keep windows 10
Using systemrescueCD for troubleshooting. Originally used gentoo minimal install cd to do the installation.
Yes, efi is mode is on or else efibootmgr would not show entries

I'm actually going to have to do that.
But before I do, I wanted to try and figure out why the normal way isn't working. It may be a sign that something is wrong in my environment/install that I need to fix rather than do a work around.
I really bothers be that there is a missing 002 partition entry, where it jumps from 000 to 003. I wonder if that is signal of a root cause.

an experiment:
boot the sysresccd/usb, run: | Code: | mkdir /mnt/efi
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/efi
ls -alR /mnt/efi | wgetpaste -t |
post the url returned

| I'm asking because my UEFI simply removes entries created by efibootmgr. At best the entry stays, but boot order is not preserved, so the entry is not used for booting. |

I will have to trouble shoot this tonight when I get home from work. If my UEFI is doing the same thing as yours, how did you overcome this? If I add the boot-entry manually with the help of efibootmgr, wouldn't it still get removed by the UEFI?

Good news! I got it working!!! In systemrescuecd, I had to do the following:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Efibootmgr#Creating_a_boot_entry
| Code: |
mount -o remount,rw -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars |
Then I did the usual grub-install command. This time, efibootmgr showed the entry successfully!
They should put this in the Gentoo Handbook. Who can I contact to suggest this?

I’ve copied grub loader in place of microsoft loader which is activated by UEFI  Well, Microsoft recovers it periodically, but it doesn't happen very often. |
