Package: efibootmgr Version: 0.11.0-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When rebuilding a replaced disk drive, attempting to make grub work, I observed that efibootmgr was incorrectly creating a boot entry apt-get --reinstall install grub-efi-amd64 created an entry for debian, but it was not tagged as 'active' in the efibootmgr list trying efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdX --part 1 gave an entry labelled "RedHat Boot Manager" and listed its efi stub as FILE(\EFI\Redhat\grub.efi) where no such directory or file existed. The system was not bootable directly, without resorting to workarounds: (1) booting efi shell and manually invoking EFI\debian\grubx64.efi or (2) mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/redhat && cp /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.efi using the workarounds, the system would boot. using efibootmgr -a -b XXXX to try to tag the debian entry as active initially labelled it as active, but after reboot, it was labelled inactive using efibootmgr -o to try to change the boot order initially listed the desired order, but after boot, the boot order had changed. system: AMI Bios 5.6 Supermicro X10DRU-i+ board. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/40 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages efibootmgr depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libefivar0 0.15-3 ii libpci3 1:3.2.1-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 efibootmgr recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
