The plan was to make a demo unit to lend to interested parties to show off Mageia.
I upgraded the ram to 8G,and fitted a link to the W/P pins.
I ran the script from mrchromebox.tech to flash the bios and end up with EFI firmware
- Code: Select all
cd; curl -LO https://mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh && sudo bash firmware-util.sh
I deleted all the partitions and custom partitioned the hdd (320GB) to have : /boot/EFI, /, /swap and /home.
Installed Mageia-6 from usb with network connected.
upon reboot, it boots to efi shell.
I can boot to Mageia if I navigate the bios Boot Maintenance Manager and boot from a file (grubx64.efi).
I have followed this script to from mrchromebox.tech FAQ when the above occurs, modified as required:
- Code: Select all
su -
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
cp /boot/efi/EFI/mageia/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi
I have also used efibootmgr with the following
- Code: Select all
efibootmgr -v
Timeout: 3 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001
Boot0000* EFI Hard Drive PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x2)/Sata(0,65535,0)
Boot0001* EFI Internal Shell MemoryMapped(11,0x830000,0xc0ffff)/FvFile(c57ad6b7-0515-40a8-9d21-551652854e37)
and
- Code: Select all
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 2 -L "Mageia" -l "\efi\boot\bootx64.efi"Timeout: 3 seconds
BootOrder: 0002,0000,0001
Boot0000* EFI Hard Drive
Boot0001* EFI Internal Shell
Boot0002* Mageia
but at reboot, the Mageia entry is not in the bios boot menu.
what am I missing?
