I've tried both. http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1173423/ works for me but http://people.canonical.com/~jsalisbury/lp1173423/ doesn't. Doing an strace on efibootmgr in the current Ubuntu kernel (3.8.0.22) it seems that the software isn't too savvy on errors. It ignores a "device full" error

It would appear that 9f677cf27341b7a53915ad0e018912dc022a2a24 is almost certainly the issue (based on examining the efi commits between 3.8.2 and 3.8.3). To quote its commit message: efi: be more paranoid about available space when creating variables commit 68d929862e29a8b52a7f2f2f86a

Hi. Sorry for taking so long to get back on this one. I failed to see the emails due to some mail rules filing things into folders too aggressively, which I've now fixed. I've bisected, and come up with a hopefully useful result: the regression occurred between 3.8.2 and 3.8.3 ! -- You received

I'd like to perform a bisect to figure out what commit caused this regression. It would be very helpful to know the earliest kernel where the issue started happening as well as the latest kernel that did not have this issue. Can you test the following kernels and report back? We are looking for t

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug. Please follow the instructions on
