SubjectBug#1022900: grub-install, efibootmgr etc. not working with new kernel
Message-ID<FlbK1-h5WT-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
Package: src:linux
Version: 6.0.3-1

When I boot with kernel 6.0.x, grub-install, efibootmgr etc. keep
failing. With kernel 5.19.x it works on the same machine with the same
userland.

Hardware: MacBookPro11,1, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4578U CPU @ 3.00GHz



I am not sure if this app is Apple specific. I recommend developers to
test grub-install and efibootmgr on other hardware setups.

Can you try whether applying the following patch fixes that issue?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?
h=linux-6.0.y&id=c2a000ad03bb3a0d0f389adcfc9f8c61622da363

That is part of upstream's v6.0.4 tag/release.

I have installed the package “linux-source”, applied the patch,
compiled and booted it. The patch alone does not appear to fix the
issue. (“efibootmgr -o” still not working.)

Maybe I find time to try vanilla kernel 6.0.5 on the weekend.

I have now compiled and booted vanilla kernel 6.0.5. “efibootmgr -o” is
not working.

I double-checked that with kernel 5.19.11 (Debian), it is working fine.

Sice the latest vanilla kernel does not work, I have filed an upstream
bug.

Some updates.

linux-image-6.0.0-2-amd64 6.0.6-2 does not fix the bug.

In the upstream bug, a new set of new patches were mentioned which
should address this issue. I expect them to be merged into version
6.0.7.

New patches regarding EFI:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/efi/efi.git/log/?h=urgent

I will not apply any patches manually but just wait for the coming
releases instead. Anyone who has this issue right now can boot into
kernel 5.19 as a workaround.

Update for completeness:

The EFI patches have not made it into 6.0.7. As expected, 6.0.7 from
Debian still has the problem.

New EFI patches have been merged into master on November 4. I hope to
find them in 6.0.8 or 6.1. Then I will test again.

Yesterday, kernel 6.0.8 was released with a number of EFI fixes. I have
compiled the vanilla kernel and I am happy to confirm that it solves
the issue.
