Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

sr, there isn't arch icon.

                                  rEFInd
                              Boot Management
                                                                         
                                              
                                                                           >

                        [box1]     [box2]    [box3]

box1: about rEFInd
box2: shut down computer
box3: reboot computer
icon for box1,box2,box3,rEFInd.

and

my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOK=(.....encrypt lvm2 filesystem....)

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

Did you change the line in refind.conf to:

scanfor internal,external,manual

?

It would be really strange if it still didn't show the Arch icon after that, since 'manual' means that it will always add the hardcoded stanzas in the config file...

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

yep, am sure i uncommented out that line in refind.conf.
and use

HOOK=(.....encrypt lvm2 filesystem....)
MODULES="i915 intel_agp ahci sd_mod ext4"
options "ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1"
or
options "ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1"
or
options "cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:arch ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1"
or 
options "cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:arch ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1 noapic"

and the same result: no arch icon.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

I have just added this bogus entry:

menuentry "Bla" {
        loader /vmlinuz-bla
        initrd /initramfs-bla.img
        options "ro root=/dev/sda50"
}

and after rebooting it showed a new icon for that. So it must be something trivial and related to rEFInd (config) itself, not the kernel etc.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

I tried this entry:

menuentry Arch {
                        loader /vmlinuz-linux
                        initrd /initramfs-linux.img
                        options "cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:arch ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root"

no arch icon appears.

due to encrypted partition?

No it should always appear, refind doesn't check if it exists or not. I got a Bla icon while it is obviously non-existent. Something else must be wrong.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

Here's my refind.conf, nothing special:

timeout 3
showtools shell
scanfor internal,external,manual

menuentry "Arch CK" {
	loader /vmlinuz-linux-ck
	initrd /initramfs-linux-ck.img
	options "ro root=/dev/sda5 init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet elevator=bfq i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1"
}

menuentry "Arch" {
	loader /vmlinuz-linux
	initrd /initramfs-linux.img
	options "ro root=/dev/sda5 init=/bin/systemd acpi_backlight=vendor quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 libahci.ignore_sss=1"
}

Sleep well. wink

P.s., you do have the icons folder under /boot/EFI/boot/icons? I don't know how rEFInd reacts when it's missing it's default icons.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

So this is my arch:

timeout 5
showtools shell
scanfor internal,external,manual

menuentry Arch {
        icon EFI/boot/icons/os_arch.icns
	loader /vmlinuz-linux
	initrd /initramfs-linux.img
	options "cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:arch ro root=/dev/mapper/arch-root"
}

If i use "showtools shell" no button appear except "rEFInd" in screen. Otherwise the same result from the last one. (no arch icon)

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

@angelfalls: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … ing_rEFInd - see /boot/efi/EFI/arch/refind_linux.conf . Create a similar file at /boot/efi/refind_linux.conf . That is the file rEFInd uses for boot options.

You can also try gummiboot-efi-x86_64 from AUR.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

i am wondering "folder" arg in bless command in case of gummiboot is /boot/efi/EFI or /boot/efi ?

$ sudo bless --setBoot --folder /boot/efi/EFI/ --file /mnt/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot/gummibotx64.efi 
/boot/efi/EFI/arch # ls
gummiboot/    initramfs-arch.img*      vmlinuz-arch.efi*
/boot/efi/loader/entries/archlinux-core.conf
title Arch Linux
linux /EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi
initrd /EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img
options cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:arch root=/dev/mapper/arch-root ro rootfstype=ext4

I think it should be

$ sudo bless --setBoot --folder /boot/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot --file /mnt/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi

ie. the directory in which gummibootx64.efi resides. I am not sure because I have not used a Mac.

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

i moved rEFInd config directory to home directory.
# mv /boot/EFI/boot /home

then installed gummiboot-efi-x86_64-git, setup EFISTUB

Setting up EFISTUB
1.Create an FAT32 UEFI System Partition - Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface#Create_an_UEFI_System_Partition_in_Linux
2.Mount the UEFI System Partition at /boot/efi.
3.Create /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ directory.
4.Copy /boot/vmlinuz-linux to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi . The .efi file extension is very important as some UEFI firmwares refuse to launch a file without the .efi file extension.
5.Copy /boot/initramfs-linux.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img.
6.Copy /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img.
7.Create /boot/efi/EFI/arch/linux.conf with the kernel parameters to be passed to the kernel (example file shown below). This file should consist of only one line and simply contains all the kernel parameters to be used by the EFISTUB loader to the kernel.
$ sudo bless --setBoot --folder /boot/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot --file /mnt/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi

gummiboot was configed as above.
after reboot and hold "alt" to alter boot partition, EFI partition disappear. EFI partiton couldn't recognised. no boot capability.

EDIT: i tried both with /boot/efi and /boot/efi/EFI (and /boot/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot)

So it should be:

$ sudo bless --setBoot --folder /mnt/efi --file /mnt/efi/EFI/arch/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

I've just refreshed Arch, following the  wiki and http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/gummiboot, bless as you said above. but i still can't boot into arch. no EFI partition when hold "alt", it's mean boot partition can't be recognized, so i think:
1. setboot problem (i dk think this is problem).
2. bug in gummiboot itself.

EDIT: follow this wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gummiboot , i want to ask: CONFIG_EFI_STUB is enabled by default in kernel 3.5.3-1? if not how can i enable it?

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

Hello angelfalls.

Have you look at rodsbooks page about refind ?? if not check here ->>  http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html   
Scroll down to Installing rEFInd Manually Using Mac OS X. And you can also look at Alternative Naming Options further down.

I struggled with refind for a week and follow arch wiki and could not get it to work. But when i check rods page i start over and removed everything and follow both guides for Linux. And it took me 5 min to get it running like this ->> http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/

Maby worth a try?

My refind.conf settings. (The only config i use) arch wiki use 2??
timeout 10
scanfor internal,external,optical,manual
showtools shell,exit,reboot,shutdown

 menuentry "Arch CK" {
        icon   \EFI\BOOT\icons\os_arch.icns
	loader \vmlinuz-linux-ck
	initrd  \initramfs-linux-ck.img
	options "ro root=/dev/sda3 acpi_backlight=vendor quiet elevator=bfq"
}

menuentry "Arch" {
        icon   \EFI\BOOT\icons\os_arch.icns
	loader \vmlinuz-linux
	initrd  \initramfs-linux.img
	options "ro root=/dev/sda3 acpi_backlight=vendor quiet"
	
}

I  saw user litemotives settings for kernels i use in this thread. And i used them when i install refind again and changed to my needs .(Thanks litemotive).

Re: [SOVLED] Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)

OK, thank you guys, i'm booted into arch and everything seem be ok.
I use gummiboot, it's very simple and nice. Using /boot as $esp https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gummiboot

# cp /usr/lib/gummiboot/gummiboot.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
# bless --setBoot --folder <mountpoint of UEFISYS in Mac OS> --file <Actual file path>

Assuming my mountpoint is /Volumes/boot in mac os x, this is bless example:

#pwd
/Volumes
# bless --setBoot --folder boot --file boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
# reboot

Partition scheme:

/dev/sda1  on /boot type vfat (fat32)
rest of disk linux-lvm (lvm on luks: /dev/mapper/{arch-root, arch-var, arch-home}

That's what i did to install arch on mabook air mid-2012, note: i used /boot as ESP.

The title of topic will be changed to : Can't boot EFISTUB using rEFInd (or gummiboot)
PS. plz update wiki if needed. i dk how to update smile. thanks.
