I have bought me a shiny new Supermicro X10DRi-T motherboard with two |
| 2 |
Xenon-E5-2620-v3 CPUs for use as a server. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I have configured the MB for UEFI-mode only and my rescuecd-USB-key |
| 5 |
boots find in UEFI-mode. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Following the Handbook and the "EFI System Partition" handbook I have |
| 8 |
created the following GPT-disklayout: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
root@sysresccd /root % parted /dev/sda print |
| 11 |
Model: ATA ST1000DX002-2DV1 (scsi) |
| 12 |
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB |
| 13 |
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B |
| 14 |
Partition Table: gpt |
| 15 |
Disk Flags: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags |
| 18 |
1 1049kB 3146kB 2097kB fat32 grub bios_grub |
| 19 |
2 3146kB 137MB 134MB ext2 boot boot, esp |
| 20 |
3 137MB 4429MB 4292MB linux-swap(v1) swap |
| 21 |
4 4429MB 5503MB 1074MB root |
| 22 |
5 5503MB 1000GB 995GB vg |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Partition-1 was created like this: mkfs.fat -F 32 -n efi-boot /dev/sda1 |
| 25 |
Partition-2 was created like this: mkfs.ext2 -T small /dev/sda2 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
GRUB_PLATFORMS was set to "efi-64" in make.conf before emerging grub:2 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/boot and /boot/efi is mounted like this |
| 30 |
# mount | grep boot |
| 31 |
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl) |
| 32 |
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat |
| 33 |
(rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I had to remount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in rw-mode, otherwise |
| 36 |
grub-install would complain. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
grub-install was run like this |
| 39 |
"grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi" |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
And "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" has been run without any errors. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
efibootmgr shows my gentoo as the first entry |
| 44 |
# efibootmgr |
| 45 |
Timeout: 1 seconds |
| 46 |
BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003 |
| 47 |
Boot0000 gentoo |
| 48 |
Boot0001 Hard Drive |
| 49 |
Boot0002 Network Card |
| 50 |
Boot0003 UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
But when I boot without the USB-key inserted I always "lands" in the |
| 54 |
Built-in EFI Shell - NO sign of GRUB. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Any suggestions where I have gone wrong? |
