Dear all, First of all let me state that I believe that what I am experiencing is not necessarily a Debian problem. I direct my questions to this list because I expect the most relevant answers here and I have been using Debian now for more than 10 years. I have been using this ASUS Zenbook (UX32V) now for almost a year and have been running Debian testing on it since with great success. That is, until last Saturday. Then I did an upgrade to the most recent testing packages. Since kernel 3.12. suspend/resume did not work properly (the machine froze upon resume) I rebooted right after the upgrade and tested suspend/resume. Still no luck on resume, machine is frozen. So I hit the power button. Instead of booting, the machine goes straight into the BIOS setup utility. There, no EFI boot option is available anymore. What I did since then is: * configure a boot option pointing to fs0:\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi: machine still does not boot * upgrade BIOS to the latest version: no changes * reboot the system using the latest testing netboot image to ensure that file system and EFI partition are OK: everything looks fine * check the contents of pstore following [1]: empty * install Shell.efi [2] and poke around with it: great experience ;) * tested setup using efibootmgr None of the things I tried led me to a solution that would boot the machine again. So I am asking for help/hints/clues that would enable me to use the zenbook again. As I stated at the beginning, this does not necessarily have to be the cause of a bug in Debian and/or Linux. Still, I would like to explore every possible way and try to fix it myself (with help that is).
