19.04 - HP - System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. + Rebooting instead of Shutting down

Ask Ubuntu Asked by Kyuunex on December 25, 2021

My laptop is an HP ProBook 4540s with Kubuntu.

Under 18.04 and 18.10, I did not have this issue.

In 19.04 I do. I tested this many times.

2 issues.
First one is, when booting, I get System BootOrder not found. Initializing defaults. screen. Sometimes it adds Creating boot entry "Boot0001" with label "ubuntu" for file "EFIubuntushimx64.efi" after it and in that case, the laptop does not boot for 2-3 more minutes or does not at all and just gets frozen at it. (the number keeps going up, and efibootmgr displays tons of entries).

The second issue is, when I press shutdown, it shuts down and after 4 seconds starts back up again. Actual restart also restarts but does not wait 4 seconds before starting back up again.

(I should mention that I also have a PC, with Asus Z170i Pro Gaming motherboard, running Kubuntu 19.04 and I am not facing this issue on it.)

$ efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0000
Boot0000* ubuntu        HD(1,GPT,7152b409-422f-4ba9-8019-0d4d778b4210,0x800,0x100000)/File(EFIubuntushimx64.efi)

EDIT: Sometimes “restart”-ing actually shuts it down.

One Answer

Not sure if this is exactly your issue, but I ran into the same error when I installed Mint for dual-booting with Windows. My HP laptop had the option in UEFI > Boot options > Advanced to add a Customized Boot. It allows you to enter a path and that's where I added EFIubuntushimx64.efi. Then I changed the boot order to have Customized Boot on top and it booted into Grub magically. Woohoo.

Mainly posting this for anyone who may come across this in the future.
