Problem with locating stage 3 file.
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Hello.
I'm not able to install bootloader on my Thinkpad T430. A have 2 disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb where root is located. sdb has one GPT partition on it /dev/sdb1. I'm issuing this command:
limine bios-install /dev/sdb
and it says install is successfull. After that I'm copying file limine-bios.sys to /boot directory, but after reboot it says that stage 3 file not found! I also tried to put it on /, /limine/ and /boot/limine/ but without any luck. Please check attached screenshot below:
Could you please help to find out the reason?
Best regards,
Sergey.
Hi,
This is very likely caused by your root filesystem not being formatted as FAT. As of Limine 6.x, ext2/3/4 support has been dropped, so make sure that your bootloader files are on a FAT partition.
In case that wasn't the problem, feel free to reopen this issue.
But why ext* filesystems have been dropped? I've moved from syslinux to limine because of ext4 support.
