Problems after upgrading to 8.37 on lite mkIII and labtop mkIII #98

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

I have been running debian stable on both machines. The lite mkIII after the upgrading only starts with the power cord connected. The Labtop mkIII does not boot the OS it goes directly to the uefi shell, in the coreboot bios interface it does not see debian as a boot option anymore. I upgrade both with 'sudo flashrom -p internal -w 8.37.rom -i bios --ifd -N'

You'll need to re-add the Debian boot entry:

sudo efibootmgr -c -w -d /dev/sda1 -p 1 -L debian -l \\EFI\\debian\\grubx64.efi

I'll make a new build for the Lite

thank you! On the lite there's still the keyboard bug...that once in around 3 boots the keyboard does not work to login on user page of debian. I have to reboot and it works again. Using debian gnome stable here

sudo efibootmgr -c -w -d /dev/sda1 -p 1 -L debian -l \\EFI\\debian\\grubx64.efi that command outputs this: Could not prepare Boot variable: No such file or directory but I was able to boot manually on coreboot settings "boot from file"

Try: sudo efibootmgr -c -w -d /dev/nvme0n1p1 -p 1 -L debian -l \EFI\debian\grubx64.efi

I rebooted and still it went directly to uefi shell. I tried adding the option manually in the coreboot menu as I did before in the past and it worked, but this time it seems to not hold the changes. I could roll back to the previous version in any case(if it`s safe to do so).

Problem solved, I saw another person's related problem on a lite mkIII on Debian forum and it fixed my problem on the Labtop mkIII as well. https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=152138&hilit=uefi I will be waiting for the new version of the lite mkIII, thanks.
