System BootOrder not found. Creating boot entry

etcetera · 12-31-2020, 07:11 PM

I dual boot Fedora, when it boots, I get this:

System BootOrder not found. Creating boot entry for file "\EFI\fedora\shim64"

Does it every time and then boots successfully.

Fedora is the primary boot OS.

I've never encountered this, but this thread from "AskUbuntu" might help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1042...rder-not-found

I would first update fedora with

Code:

sudo dnf update

then reboot. If the error continues then you probably can fix that by recreating the grub.cfg file.

Code:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

Make a backup of the original if you want before running that.

post the output of

Code:

sudo parted -l

I'd monitor sudo efibootmgr also. Some of the bios's are flakey and keep adding entries till it locks up.

However every time I've seen that on a system that didn't keep adding entries it seems to be a harmless message.

If the boot flag is set on the protective mbr of a gpt drive will cause something like this sometimes, still waiting on the output of "parted -l" to see if that flag is set.

I changed the boot entry in the BIOS boot section and it resolved it.
