[Bug 993401] New: grub2-install for EFI installs an EFI entry that is not bootable
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=993401 Bug ID: 993401 Summary: grub2-install for EFI installs an EFI entry that is not bootable Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.1 Hardware: aarch64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader Assignee: jsrain@suse.com Reporter: alan@softiron.co.uk QA Contact: jsrain@suse.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- Running grub2-install does not yield a bootable entry in EFI's boot menu. On Leap and Tumbleweed, this means booting relies instead on the startup.nsh in the EFI partition. This occurs on Aarch64 with both AMD/AMI firmware and Tianocore/edk2/OpenPlatformPkg firmware. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Leap 42.1 from the OEM image 2. Restart and boot the system 2a. Observe that the startup.nsh (in the EFI partition) is used to boot the system. 3. Reboot again, but During boot-up, enter the EFI menu. 3a. Observe that in the boot manager in the EFI menus, there is no entry for Leap. 4. Restart the system or select the UEFI shell option, booting from startup.nsh 5. From the command prompt in Leap, run: grub2-install /dev/sda 6. Reboot the system 7. During start-up enter the EFI menu. 7a. Observe that in the EFI menu there is an entry called opensuse-leap42.1-arm-jeos-devel-efi, or something like it. 8. Select the opensuse-leap* boot menu item and try to boot it. 9. Observe that it does not boot, and returns to the boot menu. 10. Select the UEFI Shell option, and observe that it will boot using startup.nsh. 11. From the Linux command prompt, run "efibootmgr -v" 11a. Observe that the entry for opensuse-leap* is truncated :( 11b. Note the same can be observed by running "dumpstore" from the EFI environment. Note: The same thing happens if the bootloader is re-installed using "yast2 bootloader". Note that this is broken in Leap, but works fine in SLES, probably because the path and OS name for SLES is so much shorter. Interestingly, if I try to add my own entry with the proper path: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 --loader "EFI\\opensuse-leap42.1-arm-jeos-devel-efi\\grubarm64.efi" -L Test_Entry_By_Alan and then inspect it with: efibootmgr -v I see my entry is truncated too :( Boot0007* Test_Entry_By_Alan HD(1,800,64004,cb3a713f-f051-4c9c-b643-b9e1358f6c2d)File(EFI\opensuse-leap42.1-arm-jeos-devel-ef) In summary, grub2-install and/or efibootmgr is simply putting a boot entry into NVRAM that is truncated and not valid.

Just speculation, but I bet the reason you use a long path is related to the fix for bug 796514 . Alan. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

'opensuse-leap42.1-arm-jeos-devel-efi' seems like the name you setup in the image XML description and yes this information will land in the grub.cfg menu. You can specify any display name with <image ... name="opensuse-leap42.1-arm-jeos-devel-efi" displayname="opensuse"> ... </image> That should workaround name constraints for the efi menu kiwi just calls grub2-install and also shim-install if our secure boot efi image is used. If there are name constraints for the efi menu which are different from the ones in the grub menu I think the tools should throw an exception Thoughts ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
