efibootmgr commands + kickstart
Quoted 7 lines
For some reason the following commands fail in the post section of a kickstart
for installation:
---/usr/sbin/efibootmgr-w -c -d/dev/sdb-L "RedHat Linux (efi backup )" >/dev/ttyS0/usr/sbin/efibootmgr-w -c -d/dev/sda-L "RedHat Linux" >/dev/ttyS0
Do you have a relatively new firmware? :-(
(you can tell by switching to VT2 and doing a 'ls /proc/efi/vars'. If there's no 'Efi-{some-big-GUID}' there, then you need a new copy of efibootmgr to handle the fact that that entry disappeared from the firmware, and efibootmgr prior to 0.4.0 requires it to exist...
If this is it, you'll need to grab a new copy of efibootmgr from
http://domsch.com/linux/ia64/efibootmgr/ , build it, and drop the resultant binary in place of the existing one.
Thanks,
Matt
