Additional reboot required to boot from TCG Opal drive after PBA unlocks it

[fnunez1985]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to ask if anybody has seen this behaviour before. I am using Samsung 850 PRO with TCG Opal support. I have followed the guide here:
https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/wiki/Encrypting-your-drive

I have now my system locked, PBA (UEFI64) installed, etc. All good, no issues there. I can see how my system boots to DTA Linux PBA, I enter the password and the Opal disk is unlocked fine. The problem is that after the drive is unlocked, the PBA says:
"Starting OS"

But nothing happens after that. I assumed the PBA would do a reset and the system would boot normally the OS as the drive is unlocked at that stage. However the system never reboots and I have to manually force a reset to boot the unlocked drive. Is this expected? If not, can it be fixed to auto reboot after unlock?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @fnunez1985
Have you seen the following thread: https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/issues/375 ?
Unfortunately it is also still open issue.

Thanks @JaBoMa , using this other fork here worked as suggested in that other issue you referred me to. I can close this one as the other is open.
