Package: grub-efi-amd64 Version: 1.99-22.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, With the recent hubbub about UEFI I thought I'd try getting my new system, an Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM with Core i53450, booting using EFI instead of bios compatibility mode. At first I tried to convert my system to uefi boot without reinstalling by following some guides online, but I was left with a system that wouldn't boot past just "GRUB" showing the upper left. With no clue what I did wrong I decided to try Steve's efi test install cd 1 which installed elilo by default. This gave me a booting system for a while, but I was unhappy with elilo so I tried switching over to grub by adding /boot/efi to fstab and installing grub-efi-amd64. On rebooting I got "invalid sector size 65535" Figuring that I'd fubared my system again I reinstalled using Steve's 3rd CD. This left my system booting to the same grub recovery prompt and the "invalid sector size 65535". At this point I searched for the error and found: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35382 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/975061 So now I can boot my system, either by opening the case and disconnecting my card reader before power up OR manually setting the prefix and loading/running the normal module. I've tried several variations of running grub-install with and without the card reader attached, rebooting between tries, and I have also tried manually setting things in devices.map. So far the only way I can get my system to boot without intervention is to disconnect the card reader. This is my first time submitting a bug... please me gentle Thanks :) -- Package-specific info: *********************** BEGIN /proc/mounts /dev/disk/by-uuid/aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8,shortname=mixed,errors =remount-ro 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /home xfs rw,relatime,attr2,noquota 0 0 *********************** END /proc/mounts *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST340016A_3HS4JDEX (hd1) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320613AS_9SZ6H6P4 *********************** END /boot/grub/device.map *********************** BEGIN /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then load_env fi set default="0" if [ "${prev_saved_entry}" ]; then set saved_entry="${prev_saved_entry}" save_env saved_entry set prev_saved_entry= save_env prev_saved_entry set boot_once=true fi function savedefault { if [ -z "${boot_once}" ]; then saved_entry="${chosen}" save_env saved_entry fi } function load_video { insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga insmod video_bochs insmod video_cirrus } insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then set gfxmode=1440x900x32 load_video insmod gfxterm insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e set locale_dir=($root)/boot/grub/locale set lang=en_US insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm set timeout=5 ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e insmod png if background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/joy-grub.png; then set color_normal=white/black set color_highlight=black/white else set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e echo 'Loading Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e ro quiet splash echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.5-trunk-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e echo 'Loading Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.5-trunk-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 root=UUID=aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e ro quiet splash echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-3-amd64 } menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (recovery mode)' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { load_video set gfxpayload=keep insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 set root='(hd5,gpt2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 root=UUID=aa3909a2-fcc8-4b69-9b32-f6716fdd2e7e ro single echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-3-amd64 } ### END /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 ### menuentry "Memory test (memtest86)" { linux16 /boot/memtest86.bin } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86 ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ### # This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.
