This time I'm using the Stretch Alpha 6 DI. I successfully loaded the efivars module as you suggested, however the efivarfs interface remains inaccessible, it still cannot be mounted. I suppose that the efivarfs module has to be loaded too but there is no trace of efivarfs.ko in the DI and I didn't find any udeb containing it. Should I load it someway from an external source? Thanks for your help! Ciao Francesco
