6-series laptops don't have the custom boot option.
Rename EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi.
You can also use 'efibootmgr' in Linux to add a Clover entry and fix the boot order.
For example:
Code:
# add Clover entry
sudo efibootmgr -c -L "Clover UEFI" -l "\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI"
Most of the time, the new entry will be added to the BootOrder first. But if not, you can change it.
Change the argument to -o based on output from efibootmgr (assumes "Clover UEFI" entry was added as Boot0004):
Code:
# change order (if needed)
sudo efibootmgr -o 4
This assumes the HP 6-series BIOS isn't broken. I've used this on my desktop and my Lenovo u430... haven't tried it on my ProBooks.
Edit: Like one might have expected, the 6-series BIOS is too buggy for this to work. I tried it on my 4530s. It loses the setting of BootOrder across a restart. I fiddled with it quite a bit, but could never make it stick.
