Re: Jinux OS -- News And Discussion Hub
Hello: If your system gets past grub, i.e. if you get either of the following:
1: the star wars beep, not from the flash drive or other media
2: a menu, confirmed with either ocr/reading appp or sighted assistance that says anything about arch linux, or anything after power up that reads welcome to grub
3: a prompt that has anything to do with starting version <udev version>, usually in the 240's, but any number is ok
the bootloader and system are instaled correctly, don't worry about the uefi variables are not supported on this system message, this means one of the following:
your firmware is booted in csm mode with uefi disabled, or has no uefi capabilities at all
the installer was accidently booted in legacy mode, not an issue, since all versions of grub are installed, which do not conflict with another, since uefi does not care about mbr boot sectors/protective mbr content
The deal with the loader.efi is this:
You booted with secure boot enabled, since secure boot only ships on consumer pcs with microsoft's key in the rom, a signed uefi application, called PreLoader, is acting as your bootloader, which chainloads grub. Since PreLoader doesn't recognize the hash of grub in your machine's nvram, you get a message telling you to enrole its hash. Since grub on the live dvd is older and packaged differently than the grub installed on to your system drive, you are asked to enrole a second hash. Getting this beast running on apple hardware is doable, but kind of a pain in the butt. To boot an installed jenux system on apple hardware, go into the apple boot menu by holding option as you power on, and press either enter if jenux is the only OS, or press I believe left arrow and enter if its installed with OSX. Since apple firmware does not support the PC speaker emulation done by grub, you will not hear any star wars, but the screen should display a welcome to grub message. If you're still having issues, reset pram, which clears nvram, and thus boot order, buy holding down command option p and r all while powering on. On my MacBook Air 2017, I had to reset pram in order not to get stuck on the flashing question mark OS Volume not found screen.
