 |
|
Hi!
I've run into a UEFI mess after installing Windows 10 
Here's my setup:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 - Gentoo system, main drive
/dev/sda - Windows
I took care of unplugging all my hard drives before Windows install so it doesn't write it's bootmgr to /dev/nvme0n1 as it did before but now, I can't even see my gentoo drive in general BIOS menu. And I have to press F11 in order to see it and boot from it.
Re-running grub-install + grub-mkconfig did not reset things properly.
Trying to re-order boot entries with efibootmgr does not seem to work:
| Code: |
trone ~ # efibootmgr
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0000,0003,0002,0005,0006
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,GPT,2bbeaf8e-0dcb-4a7f-8580-c2aff2f60048,0x109000,0x31800)/\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI57
Boot0001* Hard Drive BBS(HD,,0x0)/VenHw(
Boot0002* UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell VenMedia(5023b95c-db26-429b-a648-bd47664c8012)0000424f
Boot0003* CD/DVD Drive BBS(CDROM,,0x0)/VenHw(
Boot0004* gentoo HD(1,GPT,d557d33b-cb74-410c-81a9-7fec8455107f,0x800,0x200000)/\EFI\gentoo\grubx64.efi
Boot0005* UEFI OS HD(1,GPT,d557d33b-cb74-410c-81a9-7fec8455107f,0x800,0x200000)/\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI0000424f
Boot0006* USB HDD BBS(HD,,0x0)/VenHw |
And after issuing the proper command:
| Code: | trone ~ # efibootmgr -o 0004,0000,0003,0002,0005,0006
BootCurrent: 0004
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0004,0000,0003,0002,0005,0006
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,GPT,2bbeaf8e-0dcb-4a7f-8580-c2aff2f60048,0x109000,0x31800)/\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI
Boot0001* Hard Drive BBS(HD,,0x0)/VenHw
Boot0002* UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell VenMedia(5023b95c-db26-429b-a648-bd47664c8012)0000424f

Order does not get modified as wanted.
Don't really know where to go from now, so any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for your attention and support.  |

| There's no difference in the boot order from either command. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? |

 yep, I forgot to say that indeed.
I want gentoo back as first and main boot option. I should be able to boot Windeow from grub entry.
Indeed, changing boot order with efibootmgr does not work: that is my problem. |

| And a question I may add is: if I delete the Windows entry will the os still be bootable from grub menu? If anyone knows |

You can change boot priority in BIOS, for example.

You can, but how will you boot Windows ?

Windows did not broke your UEFI (and by the way: the support for Win 10 ends next year).
If you cannot change the boot order with efibootmgr, then you should be able to change the boot order from inside the UEFI settings. The ways how boot entries are handled vary from vendor to vendor. If you delete the Windows boot entry, it might be regenerated by the UEFI firmware.
Another alternative: Use the ESP from windows and mount it to /boot/efi (or /efi or whatever you have) and reinstall Grub and regenerate the Grub configuration. (Or boot Grub from the Windows bootloader). |

| Nope, as written in my first message, my nvme drive (gentoo) does no longer appear in BIOS settings. |
