(used alternative mail editor) Hi Steve Thank you for the follow up advisory The grab below shows the output of sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 : grub-efi-amd64 grub2/force_efi_extra_removable boolean true Installing for x86_64-efi platform. Installation finished. No error reported. Questions 1) There was a second question in the dialogue relating to NVRAM - unsure of response I pressed No. 2) /boot now has a new drop of the related grub-efi-amd64 files - but this is not "removable media path" Is it a simple case of copying the contents of /boot/grub to the usb pen drive that was used to kick start the main install? (would this over write the removable media /boot/grub?

Rescue mode even gives you an explicit option to "Force GRUB installation to the EFI removable media path". Please go and do that *now*! If you don't reconfigure grub appropriately here, then on future upgrades the grub packages will not know to update the copy in the removable media path. This may leave you with an unbootable system at some point as grub changes happen. I've also updated the wiki doc to make this more explicit. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com < liw> everything I know about UK hotels I learned from "Fawlty Towers" |
