no, the efi partition is unmountable but I can read it with efibootmgr which provides: # efibootmgr BootCurrent: 0002 Timeout: 0 seconds BootOrder: 2001,2003,2002 Boot0000* Realtek PXE Boot0001* Realtek PXE Boot0002* EFI USB Device (ASIX AX88772 USB Fast Ethernet Controller) Boot2001* EFI USB Device Boot2002* EFI DVD/CDROM Boot2003* EFI Network
This command invocation does not touch ESP at all.
then how does one repopulate the EFI partition, in my case /dev/sda1 ?
Just copy with dd?rescue the partition, as you are doing already :-) Now, if that fails, then yast boot module.
if that fails, the system does not boot and no yast ... ???
Ah. Boot from rescue image, then mount the old partitions /somewhere, chroot to that, run yast there (text mode probably). Before doing the actual chroot you need to mount bind /proc, /sys, /dev, etc: mount --bind /proc /otros/test_a/proc mount --bind /sys /otros/test_a/sys mount --bind /dev /otros/test_a/dev -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
