[SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

Hey guys,

I just got my UEFI installation following HOAS's guide and proceeded to install smxi and add liquorix sources and a liquorix kernel. I noticed that the liquorix kernel is not in my grub menu on boot and it keeps booting into the 'legacy' 4.4 kernel (snicker). I'm still pretty ignorant to UEFI and am not sure how to get grub to notice the other kernel. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

Did you remember to run `sudo update-grub` after installing the new kernel?

What is the full output of:

grub-mkconfig

Re: [SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

Didn't update grub. Oops. Thought it would happen automagically. Will reboot now and see if there's an option. Will I have to recompile my dkms stuff for optimus/bumblebee?

Yes, I think so.

You will need the kernel headers for that and the Liquorix ones won't work in jessie (different gcc version) but you're running BunSidLabs, right?

Re: [SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

After a reboot, grub still didn't show the liquorix kernel and booted the 4.4 sid kernel.

You will need the kernel headers for that and the Liquorix ones won't work in jessie (different gcc version) but you're running BunSidLabs, right?

Correct. I believe I have the kernel headers installed but it's a no brainer to install them again.

Re: [SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

The Liquorix kernel should be found in the "Advanced Options" sub-menu

Edit /etc/default/grub and change the default entry:

GRUB_DEFAULT=3

(the entries are counted from zero)

Then run:

sudo update-grub

Re: [SOLVED] UEFI and Liquorix kernel

D'oh! Yep. You're right. That's the good news. Bad news is my computer won't boot. I could go into detail, but I don't feel much need to try to rice this installation more than it already is, so I'll just leave things the way they are with Sid.

Thanks for the help!
