Bug Description
Starting up this weekend's Live DVD of Xubuntu, I am unable to produce a system that will boot EFI mode from the hard disk.
The BIOS is configured to EFI boot mode for the disks.
This last attempt, I manually wiped the partitions from the drive before launching the installer from the LiveDVD.
Check the partition table
sudo wipefs /dev/sda
Wipe the gpd partition table
sudo wipefs -a -t gpt -f /dev/sda
Double check that the wipe was successful with the first command, came back empty / blank.
Next started the Xubuntu installer from the desktop icon.
Chose manual partitioning, created the following
sda1 500M Primary EFI Boot
sda2 remainder Primary xfs /
Once the installation got done, I opened Gparted to confirm the partitions.
The EFI partition was mounted to /target/boot/efi
The XFS partition was mounted to /target/
The EFI partition had boot, esp flags on it.
I restarted the system, shuts down, exhibits the usual with Jammy defect 1962466, I push a key to restart, system goes through BIOS screens, then lands at a black screen with blinking cursor in the top left corner.
Getting systems to boot from the hard drive is very frustrating in the era of EFI boot. :-(
