Subject: Re: ISO installer image: GPT versus MBR partitions
Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2019 12:26:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190420102617.6xlbznk3dj5gljkk@pelzflorian.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <26143673123089397188@scdbackup.webframe.org>

I wrote guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso to my USB drive and
mounted it.  I am trying to make the boot not get stuck.

I replaced efi/boot/bootx64.efi by Debian’s bootx64.efi.  Still stuck.

I deleted efi/boot/bootx64.efi.  Still stuck.

I changed the EFI partition’s GPT type code with gdisk from EF00 to
0700.  Still stuck.

I deleted the EFI partition.  Now I can boot (but not from the USB
drive, of course).

I wrote guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso to my USB drive again.
Boot gets stuck again.

I did `sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc2` to zero out the EFI
partition.  Now I can boot again (not from the Guix USB drive, of
course).

I wonder, what kind of FAT is the EFI partition using?  Could it be
the wrong kind of FAT?

Regards,
Florian
