--- Comment #48 from Gary Ching-Pang Lin
I am not sure rather that's the right place or not because my issue is pretty similar, but with Leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed while I am trying to create a fresh install.
* https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/554628-USB-Installer-not-working- get_second_stage()-failed
Quick summary: I have gotten a new Fujitsu Lifebook U7411 for testing purposes and want to create a proof of concept regarding the system compatibility. I have been trying to install Leap 15.3 and Tumbleweed here. But after choosing the boot medium USB, I get the following weird message and 3 sec. later, the system turns off.
Instead of GRUB, I get the following console message:
get_second_stage() failed: Invalid Parameter Something has gone seriously wrong: shim_init() failed: Invalid Parameter
I have never seen that before with other devices.
That's a new symptom after upgrading to shim 15.4. Per the given error message, it could happen due to either NULL system handler from the firmware or some strange memory corruption in get_second_stage().
I have been trying:
* Secure boot - on/off --> no difference * TPM on/off --> no difference * Different USB pens --> no difference * Tumbleweed and 15.3 NET installer image --> isn't working * Tumbleweed and 15.3 DVD installer image --> isn't working * Verified installation media and iso checksum * "dd" to creating the USB pen --> no difference * openSUSE "imagewriter" to creating the USB pen --> no difference
* 15.3 DVD installer USB pen can boot onto another device
* Ubuntu and ArchLinux installer --> is working with Fujitsu U7411 (no secboot) * 15.2 DVD installer usb pen --> is working with Fujitsu U7411 (no secboot) * I was able to do a 15.2 installation and afterwards a 15.3 migration
Current status: Leap 15.3 incl. secure boot is working
That's an interesting result. You did the 15.3 migration successfully so shim.efi was upgraded to the same one as the 15.3 installation media. However, it's working now in the migrated system. Maybe the different boot paths trigger different results.
I know, there is no official support by the device vendor, but maybe this feedback is helpful or interesting. I think it is pretty uncommon that there is no chance to install Tumbleweed or Leap 15.3 in a direct way with such a device. Maybe more newer devices with this problem exist from other vendors as well. What can I try to help with the solution?
Don't hesitate with a feedback if this ticket was the wrong address. I can create a new one.
Could you try comment#27 and see if you can reproduce this bug? It'd be helpful to have a reliable system to reproduce the bug and verify the possible fix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
