Re: UEFI Motherboard Entries

Hi

 

Little sad to see that in many  such questions are answered  by "Limited" or "No" Linux support. I gathered that....

I my case Microsoft is not a option - sorry....

Any way I managed to solve the issue - here is what was done.

The CMOS, Factory reset and battery removal  - all did not remove the UEFI boot entries.  I can sort of see why, however, why is there no option within the BIOS to remove unwanted entries?

Anyway, once I had built the Debian 7.1 system, and ensuring it was booting use UEFI, it was just a matter if running, (as root)

modprobe efivars

and run the efibootmgr command to remove the offending entries.

 

This can also be done using live Ubuntu disk and as far as I can rememberer  the Debian live disk worked as well -  as long they are booted using UEFI.  I did this be ensuring that UEFI boot option was selected in the BIOS, and the boot device is selected from the UEFI options.
