Subject: efibootmgr freeze system when creating boot entry
Package: efibootmgr
Version: 0.5.4-7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to install Debian on Inel UEFI board. The system freezes
completely at the end of install phase, when grub (or elilo) tries to
create boot menu entry in UEFI BIOS. I've already tried different
versions of efibootmgr (from Debian Wheezy, Jessie, also from Ubuntu
13.10 and OpenSuSE 13.1) to no avail. If I run efibootmgr without
arguments it works and displays current boot entries. If I understand
correctly read works, but not write.
The efivars module is loaded:
root@goliath:~# lsmod | grep efivars
efivars 17257 1 efi_pstore
There is many entries in /sys/firmware/efi/vars/
The motherboard is Intel Workstation Board S5520SC.
Latest firmware update is installed on this board.
My current workaround is to install system without bootloader, boot
from live USB, comment out efibootmgr calls in
/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/grub-install, run grub-install, reboot,
manually create EFI boot entry in BIOS setup menu.
What can I do to debug this issue?

This appears not to be a bug in efibootmgr, and the bug reporter has not
responded to replies to this bug report in over six months. I'm closing.
Please reopen if this is in error.
