SOLVED 11.0-RC3 - VM - Every Reboot - manually select EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi

[louissimon]

Hi,

I'm on FreeNAS 11.0-RC3, I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 (UEFI) on the WebGUI everything is good but, every reboot, the OS doesn't come back automatically. I get stuck in the "UEFI Interactive Shell v2.1" - I then need to connect via vnc and go to Boot Maintenance Manager-> Boot From File -> No volume label, pciroot... ->EFI -> Ubuntu -> grubx64.efi

I thought it was a problem with grub, so i've boot in recovery and run a grub update for the bootloader, but still the same issue once i reboot.

Also, when I do a sudo iohyve list, I don't see my VM (but can see it on the WebGui)


Any idea where I should look?

Thanks,

Louis

Hi Louis... I would look at https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-how-to-boot-linux-vms-using-uefi.54039/ . Using the method described in that post, I was able to fix the boot issue with Ubuntu Server. I imagine it's the same for desktop.

Louissimon, you're a legend.
Here's the commands to make it work (from the above screenshot)


mkdir /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi
