From 4db36433bd629747578ba1e60aff425066dac140 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Whitaker Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2022 22:03:49 +0100 Subject: Ensure efivars are mounted before installing a UEFI bootloader (mga#31008) The old way of accessing EFI NVRAM variables via /sys/firmware/efi/vars was removed in Linux 6.0. The new way is to use the efivarfs pseudo- filesystem, which is usually mounted at /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. We need to make sure this is actually mounted before attempting to install a UEFI bootloader, otherwise any attempt to write to the EFI NVRAM will fail. --- perl-install/install/NEWS | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'perl-install/install/NEWS') diff --git a/perl-install/install/NEWS b/perl-install/install/NEWS index ddda27edf..a97e6cc54 100644 --- a/perl-install/install/NEWS +++ b/perl-install/install/NEWS @@ -1,3 +1,5 @@ +- bootloader: ensure efivars are mounted before installing a UEFI bootloader (mga#31008) + Version 18.50 - 17 September 2022 - bootloader: don't remove existing failsafe/nonfb entries on upgrade -- cgit v1.2.1
