Booting directly into Bios after installation

Message

SlowMotion · Post by **SlowMotion** » Sun May 26, 2024 4:37 pm

Yesterday I bought new computer and tried to install. But after installation pc directly boots into bios.

So I dont have any information what went wrong.

For installation I attached external usb cdrom with current gentoo installation cd.

Is there an option to check if uefi has any problem from live system or from chroot ?

Sounds like a boot loader issue. When you press the boot option hotkey while booting, is there an entry for your boot loader? If yes, does selecting it work? If not, then there is probably an issue with GRUB.

SlowMotion,

Welcome to Gentoo.

Are you EFI or Compatibility (BIOS) booting?
Several things can go wrong in setting up your BIOS.

Lets assume the BIOS is in EFI mode. Compatibility mode may well be broken.
Secureboot must be disabled. The BIOS checks the signature of the code that its about to load.
If its not Windows, that fails, so you go straight to BIOS.

With seceureboot disabled, the next step is to load whatever is pointed to by the efivars. if anything.
Boot some live media and run efibootmgr

Code: Select all

efibootmgr 
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003,0004
...

That should have been set up when you installed grub.

Its also passible to choose from the BIOS boot menu, as xgivolari said.

Sorry that I forgot to give more informations.

Yes I try to use EFI.
I already deacticvated secure boot, was also needed to boot by live cd of gentoo.

Calling efibootmgr brings

BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0001
Boot0001* UEFI: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ892 SB01, Partition 1 PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/USB(7,0)/CDROM(1,0x8d,0x1680)/HD(1,MBR,0x0,0x0,0x1680)0000424f

If I understand that correct, it didnt find any additional boot option

Is there an option to start from the grub menu from live cd the hard disc ?

SlowMotion,

please check if you have done every step in this chapter (only this chapter; please do only checking; this article is meant for booting a manually configured kernel directly, but it should give you all requirements for grub to boot):
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... _UEFI_boot
Do you know how to reach / chroot into your Gentoo installation ? If not, this will help you:

I normally use fdisk but installed parted to be able to check the partition layout

(chroot) livecd / # parted -l
Modell: KINGSTON SNV2S2000G (nvme)
Festplatte /dev/nvme0n1: 2000GB
Sektorgr��e (logisch/physisch): 512B/512B
Partitionstabelle: gpt
Disk-Flags:

Nummer Anfang Ende Gr��e Dateisystem Name Flags
1 1049kB 1075MB 1074MB fat32 boot, esp
2 1075MB 276GB 275GB linux-swap(v1) swap
3 276GB 1375GB 1100GB ext4

I checked for efi folder but there were only the mount point efi (with the mounted vfat) as I understood the manual that the efi is the name of the mount point (confusing :/)

But I use a distribution kernel, so I copied the kernel from /usr/src/linux-6.6.30-gentoo-dist/arch/x86/boot/bzImage (hope that is correct)

Now the other entries appear in efibootmgr.

Tried erbooting

Again booted into bios

Started via live cd and chroot'ed

efibootmgr is down to one entry again

but the files apear in /efi/efi/backup/bzImage.efi and /efi/efi/secure/bzImage.efi
----

Will try other steps tomorrow, as I need to go now. Thanks for helping

Searched in the installation handbook for the efi directory but only found the directory to create to mount the vfat file system to, but no instruction to create an additional efi folder within :/

SlowMotion,

maybe you miss some information/knowledge about a kernel, an initramfs and booting with or without a bootloader/bootmanager.

You must know that our distribution kernel has an associated initramfs. This must be loaded also ... either from a bootloader/bootmanager OR from UEFI. The whole configuration for this is done from installkernel.

So you have two ways to go:

1. Install according our AMD64 handbook the distribution kernel AND install (=emerge) also installkernel. Choose a bootloader/bootmanager and let them do all the automagic stuff.

2. Do a completely manually installation ... IF you know what you need.

I suggest to read some stuff in our wiki:

Start with: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PC_Boot_Process
(initrd was the first solution and is outdated today; the successor is initramfs; some people say initrd when they actually mean initramfs)

Decide which initsystem you want (and tell us): OpenRC or systemd

Depending on this decision, I recommend different boot managers:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... _at_Gentoo
(of course you can use also systemd-boot for an OpenRC installation; and you can use grub for systemd; but it is not so easy to configure installkernel correctly: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Installkernel )

This is the easyiest way to install the kernel:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... tem#Kernel
As said before: Our dist-kernel use an initramfs ... but you dont need to configure anything ... it is done completely automatically. So, with this you dont need: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dracut

Later you can read also: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Di ... ion_Kernel

LATER - if you want - you can switch from your used bootmanager to an UEFI boot of your kernel, but it is not so easy.

Read before:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Efivarfs
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Efibootmgr
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub
and especially the chapter:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_stub#O ... _initramfs
(because our dist-kernel has/needs an initramfs)
Many things can go wrong ... this is a thread where I tried to help:
viewtopic-p-8805827.html#8805827

LATER - if you want - you can try to configure your kernel manually. I really suggest to start here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... figuration

I tried to do installation with the recommendations from the handbook.

* OpenRC
* Grub
* Distribution kernel

I installed in installkernel (thought I had installed before but seems it was missing)

I also unmerged the kernel I had installed (sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel) and installed the packages you recommended.

I followed the instructions of
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pieti ... tem#Kernel
but after rebooting same problem.

So I am confused which steps do I need to do manual and which should (normally) appear automatically when following the installation.

Additional to the manual added kernels (as you mentioned yesterday) in /efi/efi/backup and /efi/efi/secure (around 15 MB big)
now also in /efi/efi/gentoo a file grubx64.efi appeared (around 140 KB)

----

Does this "So, with this you dont need: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dracut" mean I should unmerge that ?

According handbook it was mentioned (if I understand correct) to install dracut for distribution kernel

Installing a distribution kernel
Before installing the kernel package the dracut USE flag needs to be added for the package sys-kernel/installkernel in /etc/portage/package.use:

----

Did I broke something or what is the problem in my system ?

This is good ... this is exactly what we need ... now the only question is why your UEFI dont start the bootmanager grub. Here we need the output of "efibootmgr" (it is on our GentooLiveCD; so do it BEFORE chrooting into your system; other way would be to simply "emerge efibootmgr").

(At the moment you dont need /efi/efi/backup and /secure ... I suspect that you copied it incorrectly anyway (=without initramfs) and therefore it would not start anyway.)

Please no (you will need it for the next kernel update) ... Sorry, I have meant: reading

SlowMotion wrote:Did I broke something or what is the problem in my system ?

I dont think you have something broken ... you said it is a new computer ... please tell us which one (there exists some computers with a faulty UEFI).

Please chroot then into your installation and give us the output of "lsblk" and "blkid" and "emerge info" ... Maybe it is too soon, but maybe we must check also your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ... best is to do all together.

BTW: Your swap partition is ... really ... too big

According my swap :

I plan to extend the system in near future to 128 GB and swap should have double size (at least I mean to remember this factor)

First of all: Sorry ... my bad ...

... I have meant "emerge --info" (stupid typo from me) ... okay ... but the real problem is:

There is no entry for grub in UEFI (grub.cfg is perfect correct). There exists some possible reasons:

1. You have CSM mode active in your UEFI(-"BIOS"). Some BIOS call it "legacy". Please check it. If it was enabled, please disable it and boot with our GentooLiveCD. Chroot into your system (dont forget to mount your ESP) and install grub again (+ config) ->

Code: Select all

# check if access to UEFI is possible: check if /sys/firmware/efi exists:
# ls /sys/firmware
# another check is with:
# mount
-> must have: "efivarfs on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars type efivarfs ..."
# grub-install --efi-directory=/efi
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# check with:
# efibootmgr
# reboot

2. You had forgotten to mount your ESP (to /efi) and did a "grub-install --efi-directory=/efi" ... usually you must have gotten an error then ... (do the same as 1)

3. You had forgotten to do a grub-install (do the same as 1)

4. You have a bad UEFI not allowing to create some UEFI entries (this is a clear violation of the uefi specifications) ... we had some mainboards ...

In this case you must do:

-> boot with our GentooLiveCD. Chroot into your system (dont forget to mount your ESP) and do:

Code: Select all

# grub-install --efi-directory=/efi --removable
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# reboot

This will rename the grub to "bootx64.efi" (instead the normal name: "grubx64.efi) and it will be copied into /efi/efi/boot automatically (you might check it with: ls /efi/efi/boot)

"bootx64.efi" is a hard-coded filename EVERY UEFI must recognize and find (it is normally used to boot from CD or USB ... WITHOUT having to make an extra UEFI entry; the grub on your GentooCD has also this name, so UEFI can find it and boot). See more in the last Note of this chapter: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB#Insta ... UB_for_EFI

But eth0 is not coming up.
Is the distribution kernel not bringing the modules on installation ?

Should I start new topic or can you help me with this also ?

Yes, you have a faulty UEFI.

No, all required kernel modules are present. I assume you wanted to configure a static ip address and therefore did not install the DHCP. But your ethernet interface is probably NOT called eth0 but something with “enp...”. You can query it with “ip a”. In my case it is called: “enp2s0" and I have:

Code: Select all

/etc/conf.d # more net
config_enp2s0=“192.168.2.9/24”
routes_enp2s0=“default via 192.168.2.1”

/etc/conf.d # ls -al /etc/init.d/net.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 May 19, 2023 /etc/init.d/net.enp2s0 -> net.lo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20017 23 Mar 19:55 /etc/init.d/net.lo

Thanks, in parallel I was just able to find the correct module (r8169) and configured that it will get loaded automatically

Also I configured network manually to be able to do ssh.

With your information I was able to configure it to come up full configured (enp6s0)

But on reboot it does not shut down completely it stops after

* Remounting remaining filesystems read-only ...
* Remounting / read only ...
[ 167.736781] ECT4-fs (nvme0n1p3): remounted 2ce4ff80-a9ae-420b-a029-086951118f16 ro. Quota mode: none. [ok]

Need to hard shut down PC.

Is this related to UEFI or an independent problem ?

At least I can start the system up

According the faulty UEFI :
Is there any database to store such faulty UEFI's ?
Should I give some special information that others can detect / prevent it ?

SlowMotion · Post by **SlowMotion** » Thu May 30, 2024 7:58 pm

Slowly I hit additional problems on the system (not sure which is caused possibly by the faulty uefi). Possibly you can just give me hint, which is independent to that (=> New ticket) and which are related

System is not shutting down
Tried to install kde with sddm (switched profile without explicit building before but built immediately afterwards)
- But sometimes complete screen flickers (between textual and graphical ?) till i stopped the sddm
- Xorg.0.log seems to not finding my Radeon graphic card
At least once system didnt configured network => Needed to start services manually

Yes, please do a new thread ... and give us the output of "rc-update" + all 3 files mentionend here (after a fresh system start):

Thanks again for the big help
