This requires the kernel to be booted in UEFI mode and that the kernel processor architecture should match the firmware architecture (and 'noefi' is NOT used) for 'efivars' kernel module to be loaded and efibootmgr to access the boot manager variables.

Make the firmware launch GRUB2 (U)EFI as defaultįor non-Mac UEFI systems, efibootmgr is used to modify the UEFI Firmware Boot Manager. Now create a grub.cfg in /mnt/EFISYS/efi/grub :

Here comes the part from the UEFIBooting guide:ĭownload the latest grub2 source code ZIP file. If you've created a separete '/boot' partition, you have to choose that one for the bootloader installation. Install the system into the hard drive '/' partition and remember to point here the bootloader (GRUB 1.99) to install to. Always prefer primary partitions cause with GPT the 4 primary partition limitation has been removed. In my case I've just created the / partition), and a swap area. Move on to the creation of the / partition (you may want to separate /home and /boot. Once the partition is created, right click on it and select 'manage flags'. It's very important that you create as the first and primary partition, a FAT32 volume and you need to assign the label EFI to it.

Point to the top menu and select Device>Create Partition Table. Launch Gparted (a gui tool is much easier than the text one) and select the drive you're willing to install the system into. Anyway, be sure you've BACKED UP ALL YOUR DATA, cause the process is going to wipe off everything on the drive. I use a USB3 portable HDD but in most cases the hard drive is a SATA internal drive. Then log out from the default live cd user and log in as root in gui mode.

#How to boot from gparted live usb on ufei system manual

The ThinkCentre 1577 BIOS manual does not mention EFI, UEFI nor secure boot.

They also did not know of any limitations that would prevent Linux from booting.

Lenovo support did not know anything about a BIOS setting called secure boot.

The hardware vendor does not know of any such 'secure boot' setting in the BIOS that would prevent Linux from booting.

This might be caused by a 'Secure Boot' feature in the BIOS.

I have checked the System Setup (F1 during POST) to find a BIOS option to disable EFI/UEFI boot, however, there is no such option for this machine.

Even though the installation process went without any problems/errors, when rebooting it now just gives me: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a newly bought Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 71 (model: 1577-G3G) with EFI boot enabled.
