      From: bashley101@gmail.com              Nothing works...              I am trying to install 15.0 on a USB stick that is       to be used to boot into system which requires UEFI       boot. Before the install, I prepared the USB stick       with three gdisk partitions:              P1:500 mb EFI system file type ef00       P2:3GB BIOS boot system type ef02       P3:111Gb linux file system type 8300              The target system is a lenovo ideapad, on       which I booted into the 15.0 install USB.       The target USB was also plugged into the       laptop.              The target USB came up as /dev/sda with the       three partitions, and the USB install came       up. After booting into the install I ran       setup and set the target to /sda3.              I chose full install and let the process run.              When it came to a boot stick I declined.       When it came to installing lilo I declined.              I set up for Network Manager.       I chose the time zone              Upon completion I chose EXIT from the       install menu and dropped into a shell.              mount revealed that sda1 was mounted as was sda3.              I did chroot /mnt /bin/bash              then:       source /etc/profile       grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi       --bootloader-id=grub              I got back: this doesn't look like an EFI directory to me and the install       failed.              I went ahead with the grub-mkconfig anyhow.              I then exited the install and removed both USB sticks       from the laptop.              I took the two sticks and inserted them into another       computer.              I mounted the install USB and the target USB.       I verified that the install USB had /EFI.       I repeated the post install procedure and, again,       got the "doesn't look like an EFI directory to me.              The only thing I can think that went wrong is the       original install did not copy over the EFI material.       The install recognized that there was an EFI partition       on the target USB, but I never saw a message that it       was formatted vfat, or that anything was written to it.              What step(s) am I missing in the install? Is there anything       I can do to recover when I have the fully-installed USB       stick without going through the entire install process again?                     --       Cheers, Bev        Children, your performance was miserable. Your parents will        all receive phone calls instructing them to love you less.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
