CRITICAL Wrong entry in loader.conf prevents booting #976

Open FrankNL1984 opened 5 years ago

Hi there,

As requested by William Douglas, I hereby post this issue on GitHub. I marked this issue as CRITICAL, because it keeps Clear Linux from booting.

Problem occurs when: A) Installing Clear Linux from ISO version 30130 B) Upgrading to version 30170 C) Maybe more versions, but these ones are for sure

The installer/updater places this line in BOOT_PARTITION/loader/loader:conf: 'default Clear-linux-native-5.1.15.791' (install) or 'default Clear-linux-native-5.1.15.792' (update to 30170).

Looking in the file BOOT_PARTITION/loader/entries/Clear-linux-native-5.1.15-79X.conf, I see the line: 'initrd /EFI/org.clearlinux/freestanding-00-intel-ucode.cpio'.

The file BOOT_PARTITION/EFI/org.clearlinux/freestanding-00-intel-ucode.cpio exists.

However, on boot, my computer stops before booting, stating the following three lines:

Failed to open file: EFI\org.clearlinux\freestanding-00-intel-ucode.cpio Trying to load files to higher address Failed to open file: EFI\org.clearlinux\freestanding-00-intel-ucode.cpio

I resolved this issue by removing this intel-ucode line from the loader.conf file and disable swupd auto update, because autoupdate will regenerate that line which keeps my system from booting.

Using patched Intel DH67BL Intel Desktop board along with an Intel i7 2600K CPU.

Kind regards,

Frank ter Voorde
