[gentoo-user] gummiboot does not display new kernel

[gentoo-user] gummiboot does not display new kernel

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Hmm, what is my mistake ...

I compiled the latest gentoo-sources-3.19.1 with Canek's kerninst tool.

It is configured to generate a "loader-entry" for the gummiboot bootloader.

That bootloader is the default entry in the UEFI boot order and it works
... I can boot the older kernels ... but it does not show me the latest
kernel 3.19.1 .... but why?

I edited /boot/loader/loader.conf ... a changed timeout gets read ...
but 3.19.1 is never displayed.

Are the ownership and mode of
"e55a6b6a09bd2b1c50216272545a8d1f-3.19.1-gentoo.conf" the same as the
two others (although I'd assume that it wouldn't matter) and is it
formatted correctly?

moved e55a6b6a09bd2b1c50216272545a8d1f-3.19.1-gentoo.conf to simply
"stefan.conf" ... then it gets displayed (and boots fine as well)

maybe we should name the conf-files in a different way?

I just followed the examples in the gummiboot homepage[1].  It's weird that
you need to change the name.

I listed my "/boot" set up in my previous email.

It's from my single-boot laptop so the machine-id UUID directory and
file names are unnecessary.

For the sake of testing it, I copied my 3.19.0 entry into a 3.18.9 and
3.19.1 entries and rebooted. Here it works fine Stefan (see attached
image); I don't know why it doesn't with yours.

I see you have some grub related files in your /boot directory. I don't
have those:

# tree -L 2 /boot
/boot
├── db93dd0e1382198eb26650c05430b171

│   └── Microsoft
└── loader
    ├── entries

10 directories, 2 files

I don't think it has anything to do, but AFAICS, it's the only difference.

Yes, I played with grub in a second UEFI-"slot" to be able to boot from
iso-images. But that stuff was there when I installed 3.19.0 back then
... so ...

The UEFI-level of things won't matter, I assume. UEFI chooses and starts
gummiboot, from there the two bootloaders shouldn't collide, I think.

-

Additionally the same new kernel installed without a problem on my
thinkpad (3.19.1 ... with kerninst as well).

No idea.

But no big problem, I can edit that conf-file whenever I install a new
kernel. Sure, would be nice to solve.

thanks @all

Just a guess, if you move it back to the original name, does it boot?
Maybe there was something funny with the directory entry that confused the 
bootloader's FAT driver and got fixed when you moved it.

will try .. right now I don't want to reboot .... some work to do ...

Maybe I should have partitioned the ESP bigger ... I chose 100M and
that fills up rather quickly (at 88% now ... no space for another
kernel+initrd ... why my initrd is 21M is another question ..)

Do you have proprietary video drivers in it? fglrx alone is 13 megs and if 
it's for plymouth it doesnt use them so it's just taking space.

Seems like, yes.

My dracut.conf was back to default (no options set) so it put everything
in there.

I now set

hostonly="yes"

and the initrd went from 21M to ~7M ... nice!

thanks!

I rebuilt all the kernels/initrds and now have these loader-entries:

# ls -l loader/entries/
total 2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 329  9. Mär 09:04

And the 3.19.1 still does not get displayed at boot time!

Just a guess, but is it possible the length of the file is such that gummiboot 
thinks the 3.19.0 and 3.19.1 config file is the same (based on 
"right(filename,x)" with 'x' being the length up to ....3.19 ?

I don't use gummiboot (or UEFI yet) to test myself.

just as additional info:

same behavior with 4.0-rc6 ...

moving

Stefan, this is kinda stupid, but have you tried to re-emerge gummiboot?

nope

gummiboot was emerged here on march, 7th .... one day before I started
this thread.

I can reemerge, sure. Reboot right now ... not so ideal ...

Did you ever try moving back to the original filename to see if you can

Thanks. I'm sure that I've read this page in the past so I must've
either ignored or forgotten the title/version combo. I've just checked
the Arch and Gentoo wikis and neither mention "version" so I'm in more
or less good company.

And not any closer to understanding the reason for Stefan's problem. :(

The /boot partition in UEFI systems needs to be vfat. Permissions are not
gonna matter that much in that.

But filename lengths may do. What is the maximum length for FAT32? Is it
possible both files are considered the same?

In that case, it would not work in my case, and it does (see my last
 reply). Besides, it has been working with those filenames for months now.

FAT32 supports (IIRC) 256 long filenames.

Canek,

I don't see these long filenames in your filetree-listing.
You have a directory with the UUID, but then just the kernel-version numbers.

Or am I looking at the wrong email?

It's 255 or 256.
