Open HTPC-Schrauber opened 2 years ago
@HTPC-Schrauber Thanks for the report. Re:
The USB strick bootet without any problem. Installation went fine.
Was the USB key booted in EFI mode?
Our installer basically senses to install in EFI or otherwise depending on how it was booted. Many systems will a non EFI boot of USB and then 'flag' our installer to install a non EFI install.
Definitely worth a try as I've seen this behaviour myself.
As I said, the System has CSM disabled. So it can only boot in EFI mode. So it must be booted from USB in EFI mode. Or am I wrong?
@HTPC-Schrauber I'm assuming here you are referencing our v4 "Built on openSUSE" DIY installer:
https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-installer
Our old 2017 CentOS based installer from SourceForge is now pretty dated and we last release an update for that around a year and a half ago.
Or am I wrong?
Not necessarily but possibly. Some systems still allow for external/usb boot by older methods. You could check.
See my last comment for a question about the installer as our old one was known to be a bit duff on EFI !!
I am on V4 DIY installer.
OK, I will check if I bootet in EFI mode for sure.
I am on V4 DIY installer.
OK, that's good then. Linking to an issue for our legacy CentOS based installer in case folks come across this thread for a v3 installer: https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-iso/issues/19
Yes, some bios firmware allows for you to pick the boot mode for 'external' media of which a USB key is often singled out dur to it's common place use in os installs. On a system I remember seeing this anomaly on I had two choices with which to boot the installer. Choosing the wrong one caused a boot error about not being able to find a efi file of some sort. In your case this may be different due to boot differences. Also some systems are pretty picky with regard to add in sata cards/adapters etc. Definitely worth playing around a tad. But yes the installer, build by kiwi-ng is dual capable but we may have had a recent bug of sorts of course.
OK, this was strange.
I checked and the system booted from USB in EFI mode. After the install was finished (but before rebooting) I checked the partitions and all looked fine. The EFI parition was there. What I was wondering, it has only 64 MiB. Mostly it is created with at least 100 MiB. Also the EFI partition was mounted on /boot/efi.
Then I tried to run: grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi /dev/sda
This worked without an error. And after this the system was bootable in EFI mode without CSM.
Thanks for your support.
@HTPC-Schrauber Hello again, and glad you've found a work around but this should not be necessary and definitely represents a bug or anomaly in the installer build. Do you still have the kiwi-ng log from when you build the installer?
Re:
What I was wondering, it has only 64 MiB. Mostly it is created with at least 100 MiB.
this size is intentional and should be just fine. We are not accomodating any other OS's here and our upstream of kiwi-ng did have an issue with this partition being too small but that was resolved when they moved from 15 MB to 20 MB here:
https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/pull/1886/commits/e9935d01ee5626fadd791b4aa27126b3f022a003
And we specify 64MB across all our profiles to be safe and consistent.
I'm going to re-open this issue as although you found a work around for the failure this failure may still be caused by a bug somewhere along the line.
@HTPC-Schrauber If you still have your kiwi-ng build log then we can more easily/usefully submit this to upstream as a new issue as our own config has not changed in this regard for a long time. So it may be relevant / observable by them.
I'm unfortunately unable to re-produce myself as I'm in the process of moving and have non of my prior test hardware available so have no UEFI/EFI hardware to test install/reboot an install on.
I've had a look over their recent issues and pull requests in kiwi-ng and although they have made some changes in this area (grub), they are a super active project, there is nothing that looks just like your own report. But it may be a new thing that they have yet to have reported.
https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi
Let us know if you still have the kiwi-ng build log or if you are able to reproduce this again with a fresh build, grabbing it's log, as then we can report upstream with some more information that may help them work our what may have caused this.
Also having this issue open should help with other users of our own finding and filling in more info.
Thanks again for the report and hopefully we can get to why this happened as it certainly is not intended that you have to re-install grub by-hand at the end of the install.
The log you are looking for would be called image-root.log and is likely located, for our DIY build instructions: here:
/home/kiwi-images/build
From example my last build I have the following grub mentions lines:

As you can be seen there are a lot of entries. I'm noting mine down here for reference but I think I'm due to update my kiwi-ng as it goes. But I'm not able to do this until we are past our beta testing of the images I've created with this version. Which to date have not had this reported issue.
So in short if your can attache a build log of a failing installer then that would be fantastic as we can them more legitimately bother the good folks at kiwi-ng with something for them to look over as our expertise basically ends with kiwi-ng config file in this repo and our testing of the resulting images. Our Readme in this repo encourages the use of the latest version but I have to take care with my own version use reliant on the timing of our pending Stable release and it's associated installers which are currently being closed beta tested by folks on the forum. Once we have known good installers our I and then update and further investigate myself assuming I have test hardware available again soon.
I will look into this futher. I do not have the log. But I will recreate an ISO, check if that shows the same behaviour. Hopefully I will be able to reproduce this and then can grab the log.
Hi, I have updated my OpenSuse 15.3 and build the installer again. The result was the same. After installation a not bootable system. Attached you find the log.
@HTPC-Schrauber Cheers. So from that build log we have, via grep:

At the stage when the grub is being installed on the target image /dev/loop0 i.e. the line just before:
INFO: 21:53:41 | Installing grub2 on disk /dev/loop0
we have:
DEBUG: 21:53:41 | custom arguments for bootloader installation

'volume_options': 'subvol=@/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi,noatime',

Which is unchanged from prior working efi boots.
From you own earlier build log, whose resulting image is untested in efi boot (moving so hardware access issues currently) is identical configured:

So all looks to be OK assuming the 'efi_device': '/dev/mapper/loop0p2', bit is being enacted as expected.
Very sorry folks I'm a little hampered by my current circumstance re no 'real' EFI hardware to test on as we need confirmation that this is not a single machine, i.e. custom efi path in bios type thing. But as indicated the resulting EFI fat16 partition is in fstab at /boot/efi as @HTPC-Schrauber ended up passing to grub in order to achieve a successful boot via a grub re-install:
Then I tried to run: grub2-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi /dev/sda
This worked without an error. And after this the system was bootable in EFI mode without CSM.
I'll have another look upstream for some potential changes as we definitely used to be able to boot in EFI if our installer was similarly booted in EFI mode.
In anyone can ship in with some more analysis then great. I'm reluctant to take this upstream to the kiwi-ng until we have a more concrete understanding of what may have gone wrong. I'm thinking myself that we have a failure to write the fat16 contents to the target 64MB /dev/mapper/loop0p2 which is our eventual sda2 EFI partition. And that maybe the required files are instead ending up in the btrfs subvol of "@/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi". But we clearly see the 'efi_device': '/dev/mapper/loop0p2', passed to grub at least apparently from the log.
An install I have here has:
rleap15-3:~ # ls -la /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/
total 1200
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Aug 3 18:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Aug 3 18:13 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1222656 Aug 3 18:13 bootx64.efi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 164 Aug 3 18:13 grub.cfg
With /boot/efi containing only the "EFI" directory and in turn this contains only the directory "BOOT".
Thanks a lot for the dissection, @phillxnet!
In case it helps, the equivalent of the grub2-install
that @HTPC-Schrauber had to manually run seems to be done at:
https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/blob/89ba240b3b35aec4c203ccac0ff6de685fcc6060/kiwi/bootloader/install/grub2.py#L129
Command.run(
[
'chroot', self.root_mount.mountpoint,
self._get_grub2_install_tool_name(
self.root_mount.mountpoint
)
] + self.install_arguments + [
'--directory', module_directory,
'--boot-directory', boot_directory,
'--target', self.target,
'--modules', self.modules,
self.install_device
]
)
From there the target seems defined below for the x86_64 arch:
if Defaults.is_x86_arch(self.arch):
self.target = 'i386-pc'
self.install_device = self.device
i386-pc
seems to be the default for grub2...
... but I'm not sure if this is overwritten somewhere or if this is even the problem. I'll have to see if I can reproduce/try on real hardware when I get a decent block of time for it.
Hopefully this helps.

Hello guys, I'm having the same situation. How did you manage to run "grub2-install..." ? I'm only getting in dracut-emergency shell and can't run any grub command.
What's also strange in my situation is, that the root label is missing when i look into blkid, the sda4 which would be my root partition, it's missing. -> lsblk shows sda4 with 110G, sda2 which is labeled as efi is 64M, sda3 is SWAP and sta1 is install. Any idea? I can't run fdisk a.s.o.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: CSM is turned off
@slowhand93 Thanks for the confirmation. Much appreciated. Re:
How did you manage to run "grub2-install..." ? I'm only getting in dracut-emergency shell and can't run any grub command.
I believe @HTPC-Schrauber ran the grub re-install command at the very end of the installation process; that is before the first reboot. At that point the system is pretty much fully functional, it just doesn't appear to have had it's efi grub configured correctly. Hence the first reboot (from the new install) failing and dropping you to the dracut-emergency shell.
Your other issues re labels size etc may all be resolve once this first successful boot is accomplished.
Let us know how it goes. And thanks again for confirming this bug.
I'll try to find some time later today to test this ISO on real hardware.
I disabled CSM (I believe) on my motherboard, forced UEFI only as boot mode, and booted the USB containing that ISO in UEFI mode. Very first boot, we have:

@FroggyFlox Thanks for the additional test: Re:
Very first boot, we have:
So we have a successful uefi boot of an install resulting from one of our 4.0.9-0 iso's. Can you confirm that this boot was actually from the resulting install as the USB key (the installer) has the ability to boot an installed system. I don't think it would work in this case however but given the USB key (installer) is still in play here it would be good to completely rule this out.
Also upon an assumed drive only efi/uefi boot do you have contents in:
ls -la /sys/firmware/efi/
Which I'm assuming is proof of an effective efi boot? As I understand it the efi dir will only exist if a system is booted in efi mode.
Thanks for this. Initially reassuring but we now have a some do and some don't type arrangement!! Assuming no anomalies in your system drive only boot of the resulting install.
@FroggyFlox Thanks for a back-channel conversation it seems I have again got the wrong end of the stick.
So @FroggyFlox's info above represents the boot of the installer, i.e. end of install state post reboot. Not a resulting reboot state of the resulting install. I'll try and emulate a uefi/efi boot here soon so I can keep up :). Sorry for the noise folks.
@slowhand93 Thanks for the confirmation. Much appreciated. Re:

@phillxnet Thanks for your answer. I wasn't able to get it booting up. Then I saw that the rockstor download page links to a 15.3 iso which did work for me. I noticed, that for whatever reason in my previous attempts the installer didn't went through completely. It just stopped after the copying process and led me to dracut shell. With the official iso it went through without any problems. Looks good so far.
Please allow me an OT question: Why is the btrfsprogs version still very old? There have been many changes in the last few years
i386-pc
seems to be the default for grub2... ... but I'm not sure if this is overwritten somewhere or if this is even the problem. I'll have to see if I can reproduce/try on real hardware when I get a decent block of time for it.
@phillxnet, I just another quick look at the build log I uploaded above and looking at the grub2-install
command, it seems it is indeed using the i386-pc target:
DEBUG: 08:37:51 | EXEC: [chroot /var/tmp/kiwi_mount_manager.es9bzr0h grub2-install --skip-fs-probe --directory /usr/share/grub2/i386-pc --boot-directory /boot --target i386-pc --modules ext2 iso9660 linux echo configfile search_label search_fs_file search search_fs_uuid ls normal gzio png fat gettext font minicmd gfxterm gfxmenu all_video xfs btrfs lvm luks gcry_rijndael gcry_sha256 gcry_sha512 crypto cryptodisk test true loadenv multiboot part_gpt part_msdos biosdisk vga vbe chain boot /dev/loop7]
I did a fresh Install with the new ISO from rockstor website. The result ist the same: a not booting system.
Directly after the installer I looked at the output from the commands from @FroggyFlox. All looks the same on my system.
After my grub2-install command there is only one change:
localhost:~ # tree /boot -d
/boot

So now there is a /boot/efi/EFI/rockstor directory. The system is bootable again.
I've now added an installer-uefi test instance to our test setup. This is a pure UEFI only qemu libvirt system running TianoCore ovmf firmware which is said to be unable to boot bios images. See: Does OVMF support legacy booting, legacy option ROMs, CSM?

But most noteworthy re this issue is we can also boot, in UEFI, the resulting install. Details to follow.
Continuing on from above UEFI proof of boot on Tiano ovmf.
Pressing escape at Grub first screen and then "exit" at the grub command line and we are in the EUFI interface. If we then force boot from the HDD via: Boot Manager -> Hightlight UEFI QEMU HARDDISK 112358
We are presented with our installed grub setup:
Press Enter key.
This proceeds as expected and we have not had to re-install grub on a UEFI only system.

@FroggyFlox has reproduced @HTPC-Schrauber 's experience and proved the work around but due to the above proof of concept on a uefi only system I think we are seeing something else here other than a non uefi bootable install as the result of at least a 4.0.9-0 image. I don't know quite what yet, unless this is some interplay on some motherboard firmware. We are not currently secure boot compatible so maybe there is some firmware setting that is causing some issues here on some hardware setups. As seen my test system has secure boot disabled but is not capable of booting anything non UEFI by design, from the given referenced anyway.
More input on this issue is welcome as always but I'm currently putting this down to a hardware/firmware anomaly which would be great to find but I don't think we can do much about it given we have a proven uefi boot here. At least on the reference ovmf firmware and the given machine definition. I will endeavour to now test on this machine also before releasing x86_64 installers as I had previously only test installed on a bios KVM. However we predominantly rely on the expertise of our upstream kiwi-ng for the details of our installer boot capabilities. And with this Tiano firmware proof of boot in UEFI I'm not sure we have much to take upstream currently.
A potentially important caveat with my prior proof of concept posts:
Using the installers grub boot hdd option ends up sending us to the UEFI (i.e. it fails to boot hdd from installer). But UEFI boot manager initiated hdd boot works as stated. And removing the 'cdrom' installer file (ejecting the installer medium) also works for auto boot fail through.
Noting in case this rings-a-bell for our observations here.
Linking to a potentially interesting upstream report. Although in the linked report issue the base os is debian not a JeOS Leap such as in our case.
Given we now have at least 2 reports of failed uefi boot of the resulting install but proven uefi boot within a kvm/libvirt Tiano ovmf based system (detailed earlier) the linked issue may be contextually interesting as it expresses a uefi boot failure (with grub-install work-around) expressed in a virtual box uefi instantiation.

Apologies if this is just noise. But we are still struggling with this one.
Linking to another upstream issue, this time for CentOS Stream 9 (as apposed to our openSUSE Leap 15.3 base), where UEFI fails to boot. This time it shares our expandable OEM install profile:
"efibootmgr is not called on the OEM expandable image" https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/issues/2140
Apologies again if this is just noise. But we are still struggling with this one.
As we have set/known partitions we may well be able to hard-code a config for a call to efibootmgr via a oneshot post-install run. Or incorporate something a little more fancy such as is referenced in the sited issue. We do the like (and need-not any longer I suspect) for our "Rebuild dracut initrd for this host" service. Or we could incorporate something a little more fancy such as is referenced in the sited issue, but ideally this does look to be an upstream issue.
But the discrepancy between 'some' real hardware uefi boot failures and the above ".. UEFI proof of boot on Tiano ovmf" remains, and is likely a pointer to fussiness or work-around capability differences in UEFI implementations.
I tried to install the build image on a system, which is set to EFI. So CSM is disabled on this system.
The USB strick bootet without any problem. Installation went fine. But after reboot the installed system does not boot. The UEFI firmware does not even find any bootable disk.
So I think there is a problem with the grub installation on this system.
