Alas, 3.9.0-saucy also fails. I followed the same steps as before, and got the same error in syslog.
For completeness, I also installed the 3.8.0-20 kernel you posted that reverts commit 68d9298 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1173423/). This one works! Adding the NVRAM variable succeeded. It appears, then, this newer commit (31ff2f2) that tries to be a bit smarter about determining free space still isn't quite smart enough ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173423 Title: Kernel fails to update EFI vars, rendering system unbootable [P8P67 PRO REV 3.1, BIOS 1904 08/15/2011] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1173423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
