Public bug reported: After grub2 update that introduced patch entitled ubuntu-Make-the-linux- command-in-EFI-grub-always-try.patch, grub2 stopped loading kernels built without CONFIG_EFI_STUB on EFI machines when secure boot is not enabled.
Attempting to do so fails with the following set of errors: error: kernel doesn't support EFI handover. error: you need to load the kernel first The issue is that grub_errno is never reset if the handoff to linuxefi fails because kernel was not built with CONFIG_EFI_STUB. This causes the code at the end of the function to skip setting "loaded = 1", causing the 2nd error from the initrd loader. I'm attaching a small patch that appears to resolve the issue. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "proposed patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895912/+attachment/5411523/+files/fix-linuxefi-handoff-logic.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895912 Title: grub2 does not boot kernels built without CONFIG_EFI_STUB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1895912/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
