[Bug 1025283] Re: LiveCD/USB will not boot in UEFI mode
I have just tried the latest daily build of Saucy Salamander: 10-Oct-2013 08:51. I'm not sure if it is progress, but I get a different error now, probably related I guess. After choosing either to boot to Ubuntu or Install, both bootloader options lead me to: Busybox V1.20.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.20.0-8.1ubuntu1) (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025283 Title: LiveCD/USB will not boot in UEFI mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1025283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1025283] Re: LiveCD/USB will not boot in UEFI mode
hi together, I can confirm the same thing here on my new bought Notebook. Machine: Toshiba Satellite C850 1LQ I have wiped Windows off the HDD and found, that LinuxMint 15 does not support Installation with UEFI-boot enabled, so the only chance for me was, to disable it by pressing F2 at boot. This brings you into the BIOS and there go to "advanced" and there go to Systemconfiguration and there go to the boot-options. There select CSM rather than UEFI. Then presss F10 to save these changes and then reboot your machine. Only thi way let's you installl LinuxMint 15 Olivia. So we see, that UEFI currently is a messup and the death of many Notebooks. The thing is, that UEFI bricks many Samsung-machines letting them with an unusable machine an no OS booting anymore, if UEFI is enabled. Just read here: http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Booting-Linux-using-UEFI-can- brick-Samsung-laptops-1793958.html or even the warning here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2027819/not-just-linux-windows-can-brick- samsung-laptops-too.html So do not use UEFI as long as this problem persists.

Re: [Bug 1025283] Re: LiveCD/USB will not boot in UEFI mode
The only current workaround for this bug is to avoid UEFI altogether and install and boot both Windows and Ubuntu in legacy mode, if dual booting those OSes.

If I boot the usb stick I modified by hand it has the mainline kernel installed, it has /boot/grub/grub.cfg with entries rerferring to the mainline kernel.

[Bug 1025283] Re: LiveCD/USB will not boot in UEFI mode
Ok, I tried, but I am struggling. I understand how to install a mainline kernel and boot from it on my system, but that doesn't tell us anything as it'd still be in legacy BIOS mode. How do I make a mainline livecd to boot? I tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1951153, but uck crashes for an unspecified reason at the customization stage which is how I'd add the mainline kernel. I also tried customizing the ISO manually, but I don't think I did it right as the boot procedure seems more complicated from a livecd. I'm happy to do the test, but I just need instructions on how to do it.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.5kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream-testing' text. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".
