| Summary | 0000072: CentOS v8 to AlmaLinux v8 upgrade fails to boot UEFI system | ||||
| Description | The last couple of days when running the - curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy/master/almalinux-deploy.sh, on an Intel i7 NUC using a Samsung EVO or a Samsung PRO 4TB SSD, configured for UEFI boot (Secure boot disabled), after reboot, the server cannot find the boot drive. If I install AlmaLinux from scratch, it boots fine. Today's almalinux-deploy.sh now creates a "System setup" boot menu that runs "fwsetup" which then brings up the server's BIOS configuration. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Install a vanilla CentOS v8.3 on a server that is using UEFI to boot a 4TB SSD, run the latest almalinux-deploy.sh and reboot. | ||||

The "System setup" boot menu that runs "fwsetup" which then brings up the server's BIOS configuration seems to be a result of left-over UEFI partitions from testing this over and over again. I have cleaned them up and am back to the UEFI/EFI bits not carrying over after deploy. I did notice that if I press F10 to select devices that the computer can boot from, I have a listing for "CentOS Linux" where if I had installed AlmaLinux from scratch, I should see "AlmaLinux" instead. Is it possible that the boot menu is broken or was not migrated correctly? |

Hello. Migration script don't update UEFI boot entries at the moment. See discussion here: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/almalinux-deploy/issues/31 |

Looks like the latest almalinux-deploy.sh has fixed the issue with UEFI. It worked on a test system I have. Thanks for the link alukoshko. |
