 Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2018 8:42 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Default Boot Device Missing - No Operating System |
 |
|
Dear Community,
I installed Qubes OS for testing beside my Gentoo on an own partition on my notebook and crashed my booting completely. UEFI doesn't find any booting option beside an plugged USB Stick. To install Qubes OS I switched to legacy mode for its install-routine and switched back to EFI mode afterwards.
Default Boot Device Missing - for UEFI and Legacy mode "No OS found".
I have configured back to EFI, bootet the Gentoo rescue stick, mounted Gentooroot, boot- & efi-partition, changed root, re-mounted EFI variables, re-installed grub to /dev/sda and created the grub-config with success. After a reboot the issue "Default Boot Device Missing" persists. (Grub-mkconfig shows Gentoo, Qubes, but not Windows)
Additionally I checked efibootmgr -v and Gentoo wasn't shown. With efibootmgr -c Gentoo appears, but this setting is not persistent accross a new boot try. It's lost again and still no boot option found. I have secureboot, fastboot, Intel Trusted Platform disabled.
I tried to install my Grub around 20 times, I re-formated my /boot/efi partition and installed Grub again, without success. Flags boot, esp are set.
My Partition layout (fedoraroot is now Qubes root), lvm its home partition.
| Code: |
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 274MB 273MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot, esp
2 274MB 290MB 16.8MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
3 290MB 69.0GB 68.7GB ntfs Basic data partition msftdata
8 69.0GB 142GB 73.4GB ext4 gentooroot
11 142GB 143GB 537MB ext4 boot
9 143GB 194GB 51.3GB fedoraroot
12 194GB 203GB 8858MB linux-swap(v1) swap
13 203GB 214GB 10.5GB lvm
10 214GB 466GB 252GB ext4 fedorahome
4 466GB 493GB 26.8GB ntfs Basic data partition msftdata
5 493GB 494GB 1049MB ntfs Basic data partition hidden, diag
6 494GB 511GB 17.5GB ntfs Basic data partition diag
7 511GB 512GB 1049MB fat32 hidden
|
I tried also to install Grub in legacy mode with boot partition bios_grub flag, without success.
Something seems to be broken deeply.
Help is very much appreciated, I tried to fix my boot issue together with a Gentoo friend and we both run out of ideas.

Thanks for fast reply! https://paste.pound-python.org/show/Jt8brq5i85ZKCKaGGcJf/
I realize in grub.cfg for Gentoo "set root='hd0,gpt11'", but my root partition is /dev/sda8. But I do not get to Grub...

So just to make sure, your bios is not detecting your internal hard drive as a boot device?
If this is the case, you may try installing grub with --removable flag. Some bioses only support (auto-detect) the /efi/boot/ location for grub. For my first install, I had to manually tell my bios where grubx64.efi was. If your bios supports the creation of boot options, try adding one with the exact location of grubx64.efi. (With your esp partition as root.) Next install, I used the --removable flag and my bios detected it no problem.
Hope this helps!

My Lenovo Bios shows in the tab "Information" the Liteon Hard Disk. In the Bios/UEFI Boot Options no hard disk is shown

I tried the grub-install in the chroot with --removable flag, still the same error message appears when I turn on my notebook. My boot partition was mounted in /boot and my efi partition in /boot/efi. I didn't specify any target or efi directory, the grub-install finishes fine with its autodetection.
"Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.
Insert Recover Media and Hit any key
Then Select "Boot Manager" to choose a new Boot Device or to Boot Recovery Media"

Should I try any directory or target in the grub-install for another location?
I have no option to specify a *.efi location in the bios. Previously I never installed grub with --removable flag before or any other options and my computer justed worked.

-) Secure Boot is off
-) I didn't touch the "Reset to Setup Mode" option regarding Secure Boot
-) Intel Trusted Platform off
-) Mode UEFI
-) "OS Optimized Default" I tried with enabled and disabled
-) Tried also "Mode Legacy".
PS: My Windows partition is also not found, neither by bios nor by grub-mkconfig in the chroot.
 -- No idea --

What does "efibootmgr -v" say?
You might need to fix Windows boot first and then install grub. You can install and config Grub from any installed linux, but use only that one for updating config, from others you can uninstall grub completely. |

| Code: |
sysresccd /boot/efi/EFI # efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0000

This is the output directly after I installed grub in the chroot. After a boot try without success and I boot my rescue-stick again, the efibootmgr -v forgets the "Linux" and "gentoo" entry again.

How could I fix my Windows boot with help of my SystemRescueCD if efibootmgr -c doesn't work?

"EFI/Microsoft/Boot" is missing, those are needed for Windows to boot and fixing it will destroy Grub.
If Windows entry /boot/bootx64.efi is working, you could try to copy grubx64.efi over it and then chainload Windows from Grub.

Does Windows entry survive reboots and what efibootmgr shows? |
-) Efibootmgr never showed Windows. Not directly after creating grub.cfg, nor after a failed boot when it forgets the gentoo entry.
-) When pressing the Novo button of my Lenovo Yoga and go to "System Recovery", the same "Default Boot Device Missing" error appears.
-) Tried to identify the Windows partition with os-prober. Therefore I mounted the Windows partition, cleaned the hibernation file, performed a fsck, but os-prober doesn't find Windows wether the partition is mounted or not.
-) I did with "dd" a Windows-8.1.iso to another USB-stick, but this stick is not identified by UEFI/Bios and it can't boot. But I can normally mount the Windows stick on my rescue-linux-stick.
Any other idea how to get a recovery media?

I do not have any boot devices in my UEFI/Bios beside my plugged linux-rescue-stick.

My mounted Win-8.1 stick has got an:
| Code: |
root@sysresccd /mnt/windows/efi/boot % ls
bootx64.efi
|
bootx64.efi file. I try to copy it to EFI partition and chainload it as described in the wiki.
| Code: |
sysresccd /boot/efi/EFI/microsoft # tree -L 4 /boot/efi/
/boot/efi/
└── EFI
├── BOOT
│ └── BOOTX64.EFI
├── bootx64.efi
├── gentoo
│ └── grubx64.efi
└── microsoft
├── Boot
│ └── bootx64.efi
└── bootx64.efi
|
I copied the bootx64.efi from the Win-8.1 stick to EF/microsoft/Boot and created the chainload in 40_custom:
| Code: |
menuentry "Windows 7 UEFI/GPT" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod search_fs_uuid
insmod chain
search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 96CECAC7CECA9EBD
chainloader ($root)/EFI/microsoft/boot/bootx64.efi
}
|
with --set=root the UUID of the Win partition and the previously copied .efi from the stick (/EFI/microsoft/boot/bootx64.efi)
--- No success

If your BIOS doesn't see the device you have no hope of booting. It's not (necessarily) that Linux or grub that can't read your hard drive, your hardware doesn't recognize that a hard drive exists! I don't know how your usb stick can see the drive but your BIOS can't. Or possibly it's a case where your BIOS doesn't see a bootable drive.
They all have different formats so explore your BIOS menu and give a small sigh of relief if somewhere it acknowledges that a drive exists. Then the problem is that the drive isn't recognized as bootable. That might be a partitioning issue. |

My BIOS sees a LITEON hard drive in the very first register "Information". It is a read only field where no action can be taken. If I force my computer to list bootable devices by pressing F12 after turning on, the list is empty. Previously I can remember that OS are listed; I am very unsure if a hard driver was ever listed in here. It even showed Systems I uninstalled already, but EFI still had informations about it. (my former Ubuntu install...)
When exploring the register "Boot" in BIOS, it shows the above mentioned settings like Boot Mode UEFI or Legacy, OS, .... But I will twisted & dance with my BIOS again to find something.

I fully deleted the /dev/sda1 EFI partition and re-created it with formatted fat32 and boot,esp flat. Then I rsynced my EFI files back. Gdisk shows correct EF00 code. After re-creation of the partition I of course installed grub again.
What could I do more to check my partitioning?

Gdisk shows "Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT."
DONE!! gdisk -v showed a warning for the MBR and that some UEFIs might not find a boot option and writing a new MBR with gdisk fixed the issue. Afterwards -v showed "No Problems"!!!
