Original report
System details
Thinkpad T14 Gen 5, Omarchy, Limine bootloader
What's wrong?
System:
- ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 (21MDX000R2)
- Omarchy Linux
- Limine bootloader
- UKI located at /boot/EFI/Linux/omarchy_linux.efi
Firmware update:
- Lenovo System Firmware 0.1.14 -> 0.1.21
fwupd failed with:
failed to write-firmware: cannot find either EFI/systemd or EFI/arch in ESPMy ESP contained:
/boot/EFI/BOOT
/boot/EFI/Linux
/boot/EFI/limineIt did not contain:
/boot/EFI/arch
/boot/EFI/systemdCreating an empty directory:
sudo mkdir -p /boot/EFI/archallowed the firmware update to complete successfully without any other changes.
After creating the directory, fwupd successfully staged the update and the system updated to firmware version 0.1.21 after reboot.
This suggests fwupd may be checking only for the existence of EFI/arch or EFI/systemd and may not correctly handle systems booting from EFI/Linux with UKIs. May want to create /boot/EFI/arch during installation as a temporary compatibility workaround until fwupd is fixed.
