Hi,
After installing Debian 9 in UEFI mode (yes I selected UEFI mode option during installation),
but I am unable to boot into Debian ......
My Aptio Setup Utility Settings are:
Advanced:
Intel Virtuaalization Technology [Enabled]
Execute-Disable Bit Capability [Enabled]
USB Ports [Enabled]
Memory Card Slot [Enabled]
Wireless Devices [Enabled]
Intel AT Support System [Disabled]
Intel AT Suspend [Disabled]
Security:
TPM State: Disabled
Secure Boot: Disabled
Boot:
Boot Configuration:
Boot Mode [UEFI]
External Device Boot [Disabled]
Boot Priority:
Select 1st Boot Priority [Internal Hard Disk Drive]
Select 2nd Boot Priority [External Device]
Your VAIO failed to start Windows msg. comes up after reboot:
The operating system was not found.
The following option(s) may resolve this error:
Start troubleshooting (recovery)
or
Start BIOS setup
and
Start VAIO Care (Rescue Mode)
If I choose "Start troubleshooting (recovery)" it will get back into the same screen.
If I choose "Start BIOS setup" it will take me to BIOS
And "Start VAIO Care (Rescue Mode)" will take me to below:
When I save changes in BIOS , it will boot into "VAIO Care (Rescue Mode)" with following options:
Start troubleshooting (recovery)
or
Start BIOS setup
or
Start from media (USB Device/optical disc)
or
Contact & Support
Shut down, Diagnostic History and "Exit and restart from Windows" are other options.
I have searched the net, and some people advice to switch to Legacy mode (where all works fine for me as well) instead of UEFI,
but I can not see reason why the UEFI mode should not work ....
Looking at this post
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So ... stallation
UEFI Boot works with ArchLinux ...
Booting from USB drive running Jessie (In Legacy mode I see that the SSD is partitioned as GPT).
Any suggestions?

Re: UEFI install wouldn't boot on Sony SVP1x21
/boot/efi/ is empty
and on my other PC I have just installed in UEFI mode that has:
/boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi
can I copy the file from this PC to the Sony SVP1x21 laptop?

Re: UEFI install wouldn't boot on Sony SVP1x21
Just tried this
https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstal ... hard_drive
using the install media in rescue mode,
all worked as it should, but still unable to boot debian ..
When booting from USB pen drive [i386 ], /boot/efi/ is empty ....
but was showing /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi after re-installing it in "rescue mode"

Re: UEFI install wouldn't boot on Sony SVP1x21
This is because /boot/efi is mounted to the EFI system partition in the booted system but you will see an empty folder if you look under /boot/efi on your main root partition from the "live" environment (because the ESP is not mounted).1byte wrote:When booting from USB pen drive [i386 ], /boot/efi/ is empty ....

It sounds like your motherboard is only booting Microsoft's bootmgfw.efi bootloader, this is common (unfortunately).
The last Windows/Debian multiboot problem on this forum has the solution you need:

Hi @Head_on_a_Stick,
The post you send me link to,, user @SilvioTO has problem with dual boot of Win10 and Debian 9.3,
my case is that I only want Debian in UEFI mode (no Windows on any other partitions) and the solution involves
making changes in Windows ....
Maybe i have misunderstood the post on ArchLinux webiste
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So ... stallation
and UEFI is not possible on this machine ......
I see, I may have found an answer, although the article describes how to get DUAL boot working..

Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear enough — I meant that you should follow the advice I gave in that thread (which the OP did not actually follow):1byte wrote:The post you send me link to,, user @SilvioTO has problem with dual boot of Win10 and Debian 9.3,

As you don't have Windows then you don't have to worry about moving the original, just rename Debian's grubx64.efi loader and move it to $ESP/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

Re: UEFI install wouldn't boot on Sony SVP1x21
Just tried in rescue mode this:
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot
cp /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
But no luck laptop would boot, but instead I get "Your VAIO failed to start Windows" ...
have I missed something?
