[SOLVED] UEFI enabled LL2.4/win8.1 dual-boot not booting to LL... - m654321 - 05-08-2015

The UEFI enabled dual-boot has been working very well.  Each OS is symlinked to a second drive where my data files are stored.
Following boot-up to the grub screen, and choosing the LL option, LL has at the progress bar screen.
Pressing F4 shows apparently shows at which stage the boot-up is stuck at.  The last two lines read as follows:

Starting    Enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices
Stopping    Read required files in advance

The odd thing is, if I turn off secure boot and fast boot, it will boot into LL.  I would like to get UEFI back as it makes a significant
difference to both speed and the quality of the graphics (goldfinger, unfortunately, I hadn't got to cloning my EFI partition yet!)

I wondered if someone could help me to get this fixed from the live environment with an LL.iso  DVD - I'm clueless in this department...

Many thanks
Mike

Curiously, this problem seems to have fixed itself.

When I turned UEFI back on (fast boot on, secure boot on) in the firmware settings, after the previous booting into LL in legacy mode (which worked),  the problem seems to have corrected itself and I have UEFI fully operational once more...  Smile
