Error: Invalid Parameter while scanning the EFI directory

[Steve]

I get this error message twice when my system boots. I can hit RETURN or any key and everything seems to be okay, but it does mean I have to be in the room with the system when it's booting, or it just hangs waiting for input. How can I track down the cause and eliminate the error?

The system is a Dell Poweredge T110-ii.

Thanks for any advice.

Could you please try this version:

The source code is in the rEFInd git repository.

I received reports of a similar problem some time ago and implemented a fix, but it was incomplete; you seem to be hitting the issue at another point in the code, so I've extended the fix to the two other points from which it could be coming.

That solved the problem. The messages are gone and manual intervention is no longer required. Thanks very much!
