Not sure though in Jessie if they changed the included packages as a suggestion or pre-reqs.<br /><br />Nonetheless, I bid you good luck on your endeavor!

Also, modprobe efivars doesn't work.<br />I've tried searching for a solution, but no solution worked for me so far. <br />I'm using Jessie instead of Wheezy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784668910697205208noreply@blogger.com
