UEFI boot not working in 3.1 final

Post#1 by JMan » 16 Dec 2014, 08:32

In Porteus 3.1 rc2 the uefi boot worked very good but in 3.1 Final it failes to load the kernel and the bootloader gives the following information:

Starting vmlinuz
Using load options 'initrd=/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz'
invalid loader file!
Error:not found while loading vmlinuz

If i use the kernel from porteus 3.1 rc2 it loads as it should. The way i see it the problem seem to be in the new kernel in 3.1 final.

Yes thank you. After redownloading the UEFI boot works as it should again. I hope it could also support secure boot in near future.
