[SOLVED] UEFI-boot on Intel-NUC

Anyone got UEFI-boot working on Intel NUC?

In BIOS i have enabled UEFI and disabled secure boot.
With the latest bootable arch media it boots okay in UEFI-mode.
ls -l /sys/firmware/efi shows a list of files.

If i boot into UEFI shell v 2.0 (from the USB) i can start arch with

fs1:\EFI\arch_grub\grubx64.efi

I have followed the installation guide and created a EFI (fat32) partition on GPT.

I tried to add the entry with both efibootmgr and bcfg, but it doesn't seem like it's being read. I find the entries with bcfg boot dump, but not in intels BIOS under (boot drive order)

It only gives me "a bootable device has not been detected" on startup

Yep works great here with the i5 NUC. Used this install media:

Used grub as bootloader, had to modprobe efivars before running efibootmgr.

Please tell us the exact commands you used, and the errors you get, I don't know if I have an answer after that, but now I definitely don't.

Thanks arokh. Used the archboot media to install and gummiboot as bootloader.
Works perfectly!
