UEFI Build Test

[firenice03]

You need to make sure the dvd/usb gets booted in UEFI/EFI mode first, otherwise UEFI install will fail.


Boot the dvd/usb, open a terminal and run this command:

Code:

ls /sys/firmware

If you see "efi" listed in the output, then you're booted in UEFI mode and can go ahead with install attempt.  If not, then you need to reboot and look for an option that boots the dvd/usb in UEFI mode.

Yes I confirmed the output, efi was listed.. I checked BIOS prior to install, efi is the only available option..
I can turn secure boot off (which was done), thus allowing the LiveUSB to boot..

For example - I have the multi-boot live usb, which I added the "LL efi build" iso to it; bios would not recognize that stick as a bootable option. My guess is that there wasn't an efi/gpt partition - FWIW that stick was built with "Yumi".
The stick that works use, was built with "win32diskimage" and only contains the "LL efi build" iso.

I'll grab a few screen shots of the BIOS options - if you think it would be helpful (or for future install documentation).

Thanks

*Update*
The more I think about.. I think the missing mount point "/boot/efi" may be the wrench.. I'm almost certain the mount point wasn't available to manually enter.. Again from memory...
