10.6: Update renders Mac with PGP disk encryption unbootable
Authored by: rgs2 on Nov 13, '10 11:43:30PM

Anyone else getting the "Unable to verify efi state" message when running the PGPwdeEFIUpdate.sh script? PGP is now providing the script as part of the tar file, so I don't think the previous issue regarding character encoding in the script is a problem anymore. I had decrypted my drive prior to running the combo update and am using the most recent version of PGP Desktop.

You shouldn't need to run the script if you decrypted prior to updating. The script causes EFI to update the backup copy of boot.efi that it stores to the version included with 10.6.5. If you're encrypting with 10.6.5 already installed, EFI is going to be making a new backup copy at that time containing the latest boot.efi.

Thanks for the response and info. I was a little concerned about re-encrypting. I had actually decrypted the drive a few days ago to fix a bootcamp booting issue, so I guess the timing was good.
