[Users] Still unable to boot in system with UEFI
Hello: Recently I downloaded the ovirt stable node image. According to releases notes since 2.2.2 UEFI installation bug has been fixed, but I still can't boot from my server with UEFI. Ovirt installs without problem, but when the system reboots nothing happens, the system don't boot. Then I try to boot with super grub disk 2 live cd, it detects ovirt installation and boots the system. I think that still there is a problem with UEFI in certain hardware: Mi system is a IBM blade center HS22 7870 Can anyone confirm problems with UEFI in 2.2.2 version? Thanks Federico

Can you boot the image like you did with the grub livecd and run efibootmgr -v also mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI and run find on where you mounted it.

Ok, efibootmgr -v Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables. Try 'modprobe efivars' as root I can't mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI, when I create a directory and try to mount the partition, mount says: mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or disco busy however, mount output don't show that /dev/sda1 is mounted Some directories are in read only mode and I could not create a directory to mount the partition, I tried into /config and /live. /dev/disk/by-label/EFI points to /dev/sda1 and "disco" is the directory mount point. Also, /proc/efi/vars/ and /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ are not present Thanks

Ok,

I can't mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI, when I create a directory and try to mount the partition, mount says:
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or disco busy
however, mount output don't show that /dev/sda1 is mounted
Some directories are in read only mode and I could not create a directory to mount the partition, I tried into /config and /live.
/dev/disk/by-label/EFI points to /dev/sda1 and "disco" is the directory mount point.
Also, /proc/efi/vars/ and /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ are not present

Ah.. was assuming the grub disc you booted from was EFI enabled. Try booting the node iso in EFI mode and run through those steps again.

Sorry, I sent to the private. I resend to the list: Super grub disk detects the grub.cfg from ovirt's installation and loads the system from this configuration. Therefore I assume that the kernel parameters from grub config loads the system with EFI enabled. The grub config from grub's console is: setparams 'oVirt Node Hypervisor 2.2.2-2.2.fc16' set root=(hd0,3) linux /vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Root ro rootfstype=auto rootflags=ro crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline quiet rd_NO_LVM rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 initrd /initrd0.img
