Broken install on Debian

[ghost]

I recently got a lite mkIII, and tried many distros like manjaro, ubuntu, ubuntu mate, fedora and mx linux, they all work fine except for Debian that after a normal install of a non-free live image I get the following error: SATA: Star Drives SATA SSD' failed: verify it contains a 64-bit UEFI OS
While running ubuntu I ran 'efibootmgr -v' and it gives as output:
BootCurrent: 0001

BootOrder: 0003,0000,0001,0002

Not sure if it may help you devs to reproduce the problem I have, let me know what else I can give as info if needed

Sounds like the Debian installer didn't add a boot entry. Can you start it if you run the below commands in the EFI shell:

fs0:
cd efi
cd boot
grubx64.efi

[ghost]

got this output:
'grubx64.efi' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or script file

What files do you have in the directory?

[ghost]

Inside EFI:
<.>
<..>
Debian
boot

Inside Debian folder mentioned above:
shimx64.efi
grubx64.efi
mmx64.efi
fbx64.efi

I was able to boot it going into 'boot from file' then (\EFI\Debian\shimx64.efi)
But I have to do it every time to boot.
I added shimx64.efi as a boot option, it appeared in the boot menu after "save comit changes and exit', but the system will not hold that after the next restart or reboot.

Also after installing the coreboot version you sent on Thursday, I have to plug the power cable every time I am going to boot the machine, otherwise there's that bug, that it flashes the power led without keeping it on and nothing happens.

edk2 can be picky about the entries that are added, so I'd recommend adding it from Linux:

sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda1 -p 1 -w -L Debian -l \EFI\Debian\grubx64.efi

[ghost]

I ran that command, but apparently nothing happened, I also tried adding the option to the boot menu, but still does not hold after the next boot.

What does efibootmgr show?

[ghost]

BootCurrent: 0003
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002
Boot0000* UiApp
Boot0001* SATA: Star Drive SATA SSD
Boot0002* UEFI Shell
Boot0003* shimx64.efi

[ghost]

I also asked about in the Debian forum, and someone asked to run: grub-install --force-extra-removable
It worked, now efibootmgr outputs:
BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0003,0000,0001,0002
Boot0000* UiApp
Boot0001* SATA: Star Drive SATA SSD
Boot0002* UEFI Shell
Boot0003* debian

Awesome, I'll make a note of that :)
