On a UEFI system, were no boot entry *grub* is present, currently,
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
`grub-install` fails with an error.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
$ efibootmgr

$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Unknown error 22020.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
The error code is always different, and the error message (incorrectly)
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
points to efibootmgr.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
But, the error is in GRUB’s function
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
`grub_install_remove_efi_entries_by_distributor()`, where the variable
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
`rc` for the return value, is uninitialized and never set, when no boot
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
entry for the distributor is found.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
The content of that uninitialized variable is then returned as the error
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
code of efibootmgr.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
Set the variable to 0, so that success is returned, when no entry needs
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
to be deleted.
|
|
|
eefaf6 |
|
|
|

Tested on Dell OptiPlex 7010 with firmware A28.
