My computer is installed Manjaro Linux and Windows 7 each other disk.
They are booted with UEFI.
I installed Manjaro Linux to another disk little while ago.
Then UEFI boot menu lists:
Quote:
Windows boot manager
Windows boot manager
(... disk names...)
manjaro
When I remove new Manjaro's disk,
two Windows boot manager is listed,
blank line is listed,
and old Manjaro is not listed.
So, I cannot boot Manjaro Linux.
I try to use Ubuntu repair-boot,
but it says "Filesystem repair requires to unmount partitions. Please close all your programs. Then close this window."
I guess this problem is same as http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2201870
But I used Ubuntu 14.10. But not work.
How to fix UEFI boot menu and enable to boot old Manjaro?
Thank you for your reply.
It's just I was searching.
But wasn't solved.
I boot Manjaro Live, mount filesystems, chroot, and
Quote:
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck
efibootmgr: EFI variables are not supported on this system.
efibootmgr: EFI variables are not supported on this system.
Installation finished. No error reported.
This problem is written in Manjaro Wiki.
So I install mtools, os-prober, efibootmgr, dosfstools and grub, but unchanged.
I exited chroot environment and do
Quote:
# modprobe efivars
modprobe: FATAL: Module efivars not found.
But /sys/firmware/efi/efivars exists and efivar command available.
Quote:
# modprobe -r efivars
modprobe: FATAL: Module efivars not found.
I do it in chroot environment too. No error displayed.
But grub-install error unchanged.
I ignore errors and finish and reboot.
But the problem wasn't solved.
Thank you.
I use Manjaro standard kernel (mhwd-kernel.)
LiveCD's kernel is 3.12.25-1-MANJARO.
Result of parted -l

If you are absolutely sure that /sys/firmware/efi exists when you boot up the live Manjaro ISO and the `efivar -l` command returns no variables then I have no idea what is going on.
Your filesystems are mounted correctly and you have an ESP (2 in fact) so it should work.
Just to double check, load up the Manjaro live ISO and post the output of:
I forgot.
I tried with Manjaro 0.8.12 KDE too.
But I got same result.
