Description André DESMOTTES 2015-02-10 09:51:49 CET

Description of problem:
M5 beta3 third round from February 09. Following the wiki page https://wiki.mageia.org/en/UEFI_how-to
The HD is GPT partitioned with Live gparted  
-Boot on the USB stick: OK but the kb doesn't work to set the options, only the mouse
-Installation by clicking the desktop icon
-sda1 mounted as /boot/EFI
-The summary screen shown in the wiki page never appear, I only have the bootloader part. It says it is Grub2 installed and only allows to choose where write the bootloader (sda) and the time before boot default (10 s) 
-chroot: The conflicting Grub2 isn't mentioned
-Set bootloader to Grub2: impossible, no mean to do it. Click on "next" the other OS are asked, click on "finish", a message says "installing Grub2-efi"
-Reboot: !!!Warning!!! No bootable device is detected. System will enter the BIOS setup utility.
-Reboot again: idem

I tried also with  Mageia-5-B3-ClassicalDVD-x86_64, same message:
!!!Warning!!! No bootable device is detected. System will enter the BIOS setup utility.

Comment 2 André DESMOTTES 2015-02-10 13:42:36 CET

FYI, I could install Kubuntu UEFI with the same hardware, including the USB stick.
The fun part of it is that the Ubuntu Grub2 loader detected Mageia and now Mageia works.
Imho, there is really a problem with Mageia Grub-efi installation.

PS. Linux Mint 17.1 KDE EFI boot and install works perfect.

That has nothing to do with installer.

André, what's the status on this issue with the current RC build?

For the grub2 issue, there might be some progress in the future RC build thanks to the resolution of bug 15389.

Comment 8 André DESMOTTES 2015-03-19 13:38:15 CET

This bug doesn't exist any more. Not sure if I ever met bug 15389, but today, I haven't. 
The only "release blocker" bug I still have about EFI is 15449, although an easy workaround is possible with the new os-prober barjac pushed to cauldron updates_testing.

Great, thank you!
