Could not install "grub.efi" Error by the installation
Dear Mates and supporters
Premise:
Hardware= Notebook A55VD with preinstalled Win8 on 750 GB HDD. Win8 partition shrinked to ca. 100 GB the rest is NTFS for data exchange/storage.
HDD replaced through an SSD 128 GB. HDD will be connected through an SATA3-USB3 adaptor in case of need.
SSD partitions= sda1 ESP 1 GB FAT32 boot-flag UUID EF00 through gdisk, sda2 Swap 12 GB, the rest Ext4 for Kubuntu.
All folder and files from HDD/ESP copied to new 1GB SSD/ESP.
All fast start in Win8 and UEFI deactivated. USB-stick made with Unetbootin and started in UEFI-mode.
by the installation of Kubuntu 13.04 I got following Error that break/interrupt the installation:
Translated mean
I tried to install the Bootloader everywhere but always got the same error/or similar.
Through the "chroot-method" I discover that "grub-pc" instead of "grub.efi" was effectively installed. So I uninstall/purge/delete "grub-pc" and install "grub.efi", besides I made "update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, grub-update" and here the konsole show me also the presence of Win8. In conclusion Kubuntu is there ready to go but cannot be started cause of missing bootloader.
If I mount the ESP-partition I can see (regarding Linux) only one folder with one file:
How can I remedy this mistake, installing grub-bootloader in ESP and let recognize it by UEFI?
Thanks in advance and best regards.
EDIT1:
Copied "/boot/grub/" to "dev/sda1/EFI/Grub2/"
Have installed "efibootmgr" & tried to add two entries
That not working, the command "sudo efibootmgr -v" don't show new entries
Even with EUFI-Shell is not working.
EDIT2:
Finally was I able to insert the two new entries through UEFI-shell, besides use the occasion to update the notebook-BIOS.
Nonetheless are the two new entries not starting. When try to start "Grub2" or "Kubuntu" UEFI coming back always to menu-choice
Missing something? img-files? and where to insert them?
