Did your not install in UEFI mode?

[rugubara]

I use uefi-only boot mode

Do you have an esrt directory in sysfs?

[superm1]

I mean specifically: /sys/firmware/efi/esrt

[rugubara]

Nothing.

Then either your kernel isn't compiled with support or the BIOS isn't properly turning it on. Nothing fwupd can do about either of these problems.

[rugubara]

Definetly, my kernel is compiled with esrt support: PF16W6Y2 /usr/src/linux # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i esrt CONFIG_EFI_ESRT=y

So is this issue better suited for Lenovo firmware?

One more suggestion is to try to reset BIOS default settings to see if it fixes this issue, otherwise it should be for Lenovo to dig into further for your system.

[rugubara]

Resetting the BIOS to default settings didn't change anything. Still no way to update UEFI.

[mrhpearson]

I just tested this out on my P52 and it updated the BIOS with no issues.

I was running Fedora 36 - would you mind trying the update from a F36 live session just to see if it makes any difference? (and being nosy - which distro are you running?)

Also - which FW version are you currently on? You can check from the BIOS setup screen.

[rugubara]

I'm running Gentoo. The version of BIOS reported in the Thinkpad Setup - N2CET63W (1.46) The version of EC N2CHT26W (1.16) The version of ME 12.0.85.1869

I'll try with F36 live and report.

turn off Secure Boot (disabled) and everything is ok

[Karmanuk]

sorry, Windows UEFI Firmware Update turn it on
