 Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2018 5:23 am Post subject: [SOLVED] UEFI boot (with grub2) hangs on loading kernel |
 |
|
A few days ago i started installing gentoo on a Dell Latitude notebook.
I have a few years of experience in installing gentoo, but so far it has been either BIOS + MBR or BIOS + GPT configurations.
This time i thought i should try UEFI installation.
After following the handbook instaructions, i managed to enter the grub menu with uefi, but when i select the kernel to load, it justt says "Loading [kernel-name-version]" and hangs there.
here is the main hard disk trough parted (the only difference from the handbook example is, that i have swap on the second ssd and created a home partition) - btw, the hard drive is an SSD:
| Code: | Model: ATA Samsung SSD 850 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 256GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 3146kB 2097kB grub bios_grub
2 3146kB 137MB 134MB fat32 boot boot, esp
3 137MB 21.1GB 21.0GB ext4 rootfs
4 21.1GB 256GB 235GB ext4 home

Here is the current kernel config: https://pastebin.com/DhvDdL95
make.conf: https://pastebin.com/1CyEdi5d
fstab: https://pastebin.com/rnaXz45B
and may be relevant to post blkid:
| Code: | root@sysresccd /root % blkid
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
/dev/sda2: UUID="4219-31C1" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="boot" PARTUUID="c8ad05a2-f080-41be-b95b-06f7dcd986b4"

/dev/sda1: PARTLABEL="grub" PARTUUID="4b24110d-5477-492b-915b-1938249d9aea" |
I just can't figure it out if this is a efi/grub/kernel problem.
Thanks.

| Just a sanity check, but did you install dosfstools before you rebooted? |

If you see hard drive activity after the loading message, then chances are you have the wrong framebuffer selected. You'll have to either log in remotely to make the change and recompile the kernel, or use a livecd and make the changes there.
Cheers

it was the lack of framebuffer device.
i saw disk activity after the hang.
compiling the efi framebuffer and the intel framebuffer for the i965 card solved the issue |
