I'm unable to reproduce these issues here. Both eliloconfig and efibootmgr are working as expected.

It has happened before but it cleared up the next kernel upgrade. EFI works in mysterious ways sometimes.

Maybe it's an issue with your machine's firmware.

Please provide the output of this command, typed as root:

Code:

efibootmgr -v

RadicalDreamer · 02-21-2019, 02:05 PM

Code:

BootOrder: 0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,0007,0008,000D,000E,000F,0013,0010,0011,0012

Edit:
I tried using intel's IPDT because someones computer was having issues so I tried to boot it and it added entries. Whenever eliloconfig adds Slackware back to the boot order I'll try and clean stuff up using efibootmgr. I noticed it has options for cleaning the menu. Thanks for mentioning cleaning it up Didier Spaier. I've been holding off from opening my PC and resetting the bios out of laziness.

Didier Spaier · 02-21-2019, 02:34 PM

Hmm... I don't see a boot entry for Slackware but I see one for rEFInd, and also duplicate boot entries. Some cleaning in this menu wouldn't hurt, I think.

"...with more than 153 bugs fixed since the previous release."

Sounds worth having.

Yes, as soon as we get a new kernel.

igadoter · 02-23-2019, 02:49 AM

Today new kernel or next week new kernel? Never realized kernel can change so fast (or change to be so fat).

teoberi · 02-23-2019, 03:02 AM

23.02.2019 -> kernel 4.19.25

Maybe we plan to ship with 5.x?

shastah · 02-23-2019, 04:39 AM

Code:

a/file-5.36-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.

This is also a security update, BTW. CVE-2019-8906 CVE-2019-8907

Surely!

Pat hasn't shipped a non-LTS kernel since 2011 with 13.37. 14.0 (released in 2012) and newer releases all used LTS kernels. I'm expecting it isn't very likely he would jump off the LTS kernels for a non-LTS kernel, which tends to be supported for only 3-4 months.
