debian-users:
I would like to create a USB flash drive with Debian that I can boot in
new Windows 10 machines with UEFI Secure Boot, so that I can examine
things, run tools, take images of the Windows system drive, etc., before
booting Windows for the first time.
I have downloaded, verified the checksum, and burned the following to a
USB flash drive:
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-cd/
debian-10.2.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso
Using a Dell PowerEdge T30 with CMOS Setup configured for UEFI and
Secure Boot, I booted d-i and installed onto a wiped USB flash drive --
hostname "buster".
When I attempt to boot buster, the T30 firmware does not see the it:
No bootable devices found
Press F1 key to retry boot.
Press F2 to reboot into setup.
Press F5 key to run onboard diagnostics.
I have tried all of the USB ports -- nope.
I disabled Secure Boot and tried all of the USB ports -- nope.
So, I wiped the USB flash drive and installed again, without selecting a
Debian mirror (in case there are bugs since the 10.2.0 d-i was released)
-- nope.
I tried all of the USB ports on an Intel DQ67SW desktop motherboard with
CMOS Setup configured for UEFI boot (no Secure Boot support):
Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.95
Copyright (C) 1997-2012, Intel Corporation
CLIENT MAC ADDR: <redacted> GUID: <redacted>
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exitng Intel Boot Agent.
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boo Media in select Boot device and press a key
(I recall successfully booting Debian 9 with UEFI in the past.)
STFW people have succeeded by running grub-install:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/01/msg00005.html
Using the T30 in Secure Boot again, I booted d-i into a rescue shell,
mounted buster root, boot, efi, dev, proc, and sys, and started Bash:
root@d-i:/# ls -1 /usr/lib/grub
grub-mkconfig_lib
x86_64-efi
x86_64-efi-signed
root@d-i:/# grub-install --target x86_64-efi-signed
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/modinfo.sh
doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
root@d-i:/# find /usr/lib/grub -name modinfo.sh
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh
It seems /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh is missing.
Suggestions?
