Boot DSL on UEFI system - KarsteinE - 02-22-2024
I want too run dsl alongside Windows and Wubuntu linux on an UEFI based laptop, how can I make the .iso bootable on an UEFI system? Or is there another way around? I have tried installing it in BIOS mode and that went fine. When I switch to UEFI the grub config in Wubuntu can see the dsl installation but when I include it in grub and try to boot it it just says "error: you need to load the kernel first". TIA

RE: Boot DSL on UEFI system - Yan - 02-22-2024
If you used UEFI for Windows and Ubuntu (I assume you mean Ubuntu), then you should already have the required EFI partition.
Did you boot into Ubuntu and then run grub-update and install-grub? But first make the necessary changes to /etc/default/grub.

After booting into wubuntu (it is Windows Ubuntu, formerly known as WindowsFx or LinuxFx) I used grub-customizer to update grub. What changes to /etc/default/grub were you thinking of? I have the impression that grub-customizer makes the required changes.
Edit: Here's my /boot/grub/grub.cfg As you can see dsl is there but if I choose it i get a error sauing "<You need to load the kernel first"

I'm talking about /etc/default/grub , not /boot/grub/grub.cfg . There's a link in my previous post; if you click on /etc/default/grub , you'll be shown a page that explains the change to be made.
I don't know anything about grub-customizer . It seems to be specific to Ubuntu.

I knw you were talking about /etc/default/grub, I posted grub.cfg to show you that dsl IS in the grub menue, it woud not have been unless GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false was already set.
To be sure I ran sudo update-grub and tried to boot again, same result it just says "You need to load the kernel first" when I select dsl from the grub menue. What can I do to make sure the kernel is loaded? Does the dsl kernel support 64 bit cpu? (AMD)

Is secure boot on? Try disabling it.

Secure boot is disabled. It would not boot wubuntu at first so I disables it.
