This error is reproducable on my hardware >=12.04.2 with EFI mode on. Am posting this from 13.04 amd 64 desktop live session because of this error and others possibly associated with it. Using ga a75 ud4h mobo with latest firmware which uses EFI 1.1 rev 2 specification firmware. rEFInd sees this as ver UEFI 2.1. Using msinfo32 and windows upgrade assistant confirm this firmware/hardware is not Secure Boot capable.
Searching Ask Ubuntu this bug may have regressed/resurfaced since 12.04.2/12.10. (http://askubuntu.com/search?tab=votes&q=you%20need%20to%20load%20kernel%20first). One similar question there http://askubuntu.com/q/206950/102029 links to this wiki http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/SecureBoot_in_Ubuntu_12.10/ which i have found helpful in getting confidence to post my first bug comment here. The article talks of first stage and second stage boot loaders as well as shim. Realise shim is Secure Boot related so is not the issue on this hardware but do not understand first stage and second stage boot loaders. Do know rEFInd sees BIOS/legacy bootloaders on media as "fallback loaders". I am guessing this is second stage bootloader. Which means if first stage loader is the signed.efi image then there is no usable .efi image to use on my hardware. How to EFI install Ubuntu on a system that is EFI capable but is not Secure Boot capable? Understand 11.04 11.10 want to make 16bit EFI partition if installing to a completely unallocated space drive which would mean fixing before trying to boot to - source http://www.rodsbooks.com/gb-hybrid-efi/ which is a different story. I can not boot any Ubuntu installer using EFI mode on this hardware. I asked this http://askubuntu.com/questions/208405/how-to-efi-install-ubuntu which links to thread over on Ubuntu Forums to try and find a working solution or a conclusion that explains why not! 13.04 installed using legacy settings although EFI was on which indicates the expected sequence described in http://web.dodds.net/~vorlon/wiki/blog/SecureBoot_in_Ubuntu_12.10/ However i can not replicate this and have never booted any Ubuntu installer using EFI mode on this hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993164 Title: error file not found you need to load the kernel first failed to boot both default and fallback entries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/993164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
