EFI partiton not detected by firmware

My system does not boot because firmware cannot find any OS. My current workaround is to enter grub from live USB and selecting option “Detect EFI bootloaders”. Any tips?

Firmware is set to boot only UEFI (not UEFI + LEGACY) and has two boot priorities:

  1. UEFI USB
  2. UEFI Hard Drive

All remaining boot entries has been disabled.

Secure boot is disabled. Firmware has been updated. Cmos has been cleared. The only configuration in firmware is boot order mentioned above and fan profiles.

I’m having example the same issue as this guy. I’ve tried his fix but changes I make does not persist after a reboot.

I’ll keep following system information and program output up to date whenever I try something new.

Hello @pavel and welcome :wink:

It seems that no efi entry has be created on the nvram. Normally grub triggers efibootmgr to create one…

Something like that should work:

sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/nvme0n1 --part 2 --label "Manjaro" --loader \\EFI\\manjaro\\grubx64.efi

Then check again:

efibootmgr -v

Hi @megavolt and thanks :slight_smile:

After running sudo efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/nvme0n1 --part 2 --label "Manjaro" --loader \\EFI\\manjaro\\grubx64.efi

output of efibootmgr -v changed:

Bootorder starts with 0000, and Boot0000 points to manjaro and the correct file. I was expecting to just reboot and get back to the desktop but changes did not persist after a reboot :thinking: efibootmgr -v reverts back to the way it was before the reboot.

secure boot disabled? :thinking:

Secure boot is disabled, yeah.

Update:
I’ve also repeated steps above after clearing CMOS. Since default configuration on firmware is LEGACY+UEFI, I changed that to UEFI as well before booting.

sudo efibootmgr -v -v crashes and returns a stack trace:

There is a issue on GitHub in the efibootmgr repository that has similar looking crash. It might be related.

please check also if this the correct PARTUUID:

sudo blkid /dev/nvme0n1p2

yep, it matches.

sudo blkid /dev/nvme0n1p2:

/dev/nvme0n1p2: LABEL_FATBOOT="BOOTLOADER" LABEL="BOOTLOADER" UUID="39CE-3282" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="BOOTLOADER" PARTUUID="4b366a72-5bf9-4428-9ef4-f1e352e7529c"

I see a lot of dumb entries… delete them to free up space.

sudo rm /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/dump-type0*

Maybe that is the problem, why the entry was not saved?

Maybe. All dump-type0 entries has been removed and persisted after reboot. I’ve tried to recreate the boot entry but it still didn’t persist.

Meanwhile I took a picture of the POST screen (I think thats the correct term).

Shouldn’t it list the nvme drive together with the usb stick?

Looks like there is an update for your UEFI: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/z270-sli-plus/support#down-bios maybe this could fix the problem?

Looks like it works in UEFI and CSM mode… try to disable CSM/Legacy.
