Title:
After grub update I have to re-flash bios from windows installation cd
FUJITSU LIFEBOOK AH532
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Why do I have to re flash my bios every time whenever grub is updated
?
This was my workaround on very similar bug, it exists till now on my
FUJITSU LIFEBOOK AH532.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451387
My workaround, no need to short CL1 and CL2:
1. Install Ubuntu in a normal way, ( I installed UEFI based Ubuntu, in
GPT partition table hdd, didn't try MBR)
2. After installation restart your computer and boot to newly
installed ubuntu
3. Download fujitsu flash bios from fujitsu website (I used Admin pack
bios v1.09 for fujitsu AH532) and extract it to any fat32 or ntfs
based partition or usb
4. http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ install rEFInd boot manager
5. Uncomment line "scanfor internal,external,optical,manual" search
for this line and just remove '#' from /EFI/refind/refind.conf
6. Install and Run Boot-Repair with recommended option
7. Restart your system
8. Now your menu must be rEFInd boot manager if not then copy it from /EFI/refind/ to /EFI/BOOT/ and rename refind_x64.efi
to bootx64.efi
9. When you are at rEFind boot manager Insert Windows Installation
DVD, I used windows 7 home basic that came with fujitsu
10. Press escape several times to refresh rEFInd, after that it will
show cd-rom icon select that
11. After loading windows installation, select language then Select
"repair your computer", wait for searching of preinstalled OSes then
select first option click next and then select command prompt
12. In command prompt give path to your bios flash executable
You are done
If after restart only grub> basic is showing
follow these steps
i. grub> set root=(hdX,gptY) <enter>
ii. grub> linux /vmlinuz set root=/dev/sdaY <enter>
iii. grub> initrd /initrd.img <enter>
iv. grub> boot <enter>
replace X with your harddisk number
replace Y with your newly installed ubuntu partition
once you are in ubuntu
v. goto /EFI/Boot/ just delete bootx64.efi and copy refind_x64.efi from /EFI/refind/ and rename refind_x64.efi to bootx64.efi
this situation will only occur if you skip step 8.
Every time you update your grub or if it is re installed automatically by software updater you have to follow step 9 to step 11 to
re flash your bios.
I only have ubuntu in my system
