Issues on installing boot files
Hi,
I try to install the boot files on my EFI system following the instructions over here. However, I get the following error:
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=$esp --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debug
** Warning ** : Boot000a is not EFI 1.10 complaint (lowercase hex in name)
** Warning ** : Boot000b is not EFI 1.10 complaint (lowercase hex in name)
** Warning ** : please recreate these using efibootmgr to remove this warning
Could not prepare boot variable: No space left on deviceThe debug output also shows some invalid pointer error
*** Error in `efibootmgr': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: .....Any ideas? EFI really breaks my heart (I just remember that I've spent last time quite some time in order to get this running) :-(
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Michael

No. I've wrote this post from my notebook while I'm installing my desktop and simply copied over the line from the wiki (and I have not enabled ssh so I could simply copy/paste it (that's also the reason while there is not pointer address in the munmap error and the full efibootmgr -v output). Basically, it's the following command
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --recheck --debugThe boot directory is not a seperate partition and I've mounted the EFI system partition to /boot/efi.

Re: Issues on installing boot files
Hi,
before the installation I've removed via the UEFI shell the existing boot manager entries. I've read some odd stories about cleaning up the NVRAM, so maybe this is the issue of the whole dilemna?
I've used the following command
Shell> bcfg boot rm <id>Nevertheless, going throught the checklist:
* EFI Runtime Services is present in the kernel
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_EFI=y
CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y
CONFIG_EFI_VARS=y
CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE=y
# CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE is not set* The kernel processor bitness/arch and EFI processor bitness/arch match (the CD was used for the same machine for a previous installation)
* Kernel was booted in EFI mode.
* EFI Runtime Services was not disabled via kernel cmdline
* efivarfs filesystem was mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivarsefivar
* The command efivar was not available on the CD so I've "installed" it.

Re: Issues on installing boot files
@ridcully: Post the output of "efibootmgr -v".
EDIT 1: I notified this issue to Fedora's Peter Jones, whose efibootmgr fork Arch is using currently (via his efivar library). I suggest contacting him directly with all the details. He is https://github.com/vathpela or "pjones" in freenode irc.
EDIT 2: Post your kernel pkgver, efibootmgr pkgver, efivar pkgver, and a strace of the efibootmgr.

Re: Issues on installing boot files
Hi,
unfortunately this took some time since I went on a business trip/vacation. Sorry for that! So, that is all the output from the installed system (which never booted). The ouput of efibootmgr -v is
[root@archiso /]# efibootmgr -v
** Warning ** : Boot000a is not EFI 1.10 compliant (lowercase hex in name)
** Warning ** : Boot000b is not EFI 1.10 compliant (lowercase hex in name)
** Warning ** : please recreate these using efibootmgr to remove this warning.

Re: Issues on installing boot files
I had the same problem in my first arch installation. Everything seemed fine but it did not boot anyway.
Even tho wiki says it is unnecessary and deleted this; try adding <--root-directory=/> in grub-install.
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub --root-directory=/ --recheck --debugEdit: May your Efi partition is too tiny to be used?

The problem is not the grub-install per se, but creating the ArchLinux EFI boot manager entry. I've added a boot manager entry via UEFI shell (bfcg) and get an input/output error now if I execute the grub command.

Unfortunately not:
[root@archiso ~]# df -h
...
/dev/sda1 127M 30M 97M 24% /boot/efiEDIT: I've tried to install the Ubuntu's Firmware Test Suite, but failed. The versions in AUR seem to be broken.
EDIT: The core dump of the efibootmgr -v seems to be the result of not mounting the efivars inside the chroot. If I do mount the efivars, the core dump goes away, but the efibootmgr call inside grub-install still fails :-/
