Hi, sometimes UEFI Firmware prevents Boot parameters to be modified by Operating System as long as it does not identify itself as a Microsoft Windows Loader, or there are a setting in firmware that protect boot order, like "Bios Guard". Can you provide me your Motherboard specifications or Machine mark and models? CC:

ouaurelien If you have a Live USB, can you try that and have a look at the hard disk from it? Try: # gdisk -l </dev/sdx> # fdisk -l </dev/sdx> and capture the O/P to post it. If you can do likewise from the Live system, try (you may have to install it) # efibootmgr (gives simple legible list) # efibootmgr -v (more complicated output) CC:

lewyssmith New Beta 2 iso were released on 2020-Dec-08. Should this be tested with updated one? Again, if this reproduce, please attach here the output from a working Linux OS of the following command as user: $ inxi -F > ./system-info.txt Ah, another that fell through the cracks. I know for a fact that a subsequent install worked, so this got fixed. Resolution:

A fresh network nonfree install (UEFI) on an empty disk works fine until exiting out attempts to write the bootloader, which gets: An error occurred grub2-install failed: installing for x86_64-efi platform. Could not prepare Boot variable: Function not implemented grab2-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: input/output error ...propagated. The install disk was blanked, and MGA was allowed to create the EFI boot partition.
