It's a UEFI executable file on the EFI system partition. In Fedora, the relevant bits come from a completely different package. You could try something like this: - Set up a chroot with appropriate bind mounts ( https://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/multiboot-guide/html/common_operations_appendix.html#common-chroot_from_live ) - # dnf remove grub - # dnf install grub2-efi shim - Create an efi boot entry (the one in your paste is from the live image) https://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/multiboot-guide/html/GRUB-reinstalling.html It's a somewhat complicated and involved process; if you've just installed Fedora it may be easier to reinstall. -- -- Pete -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
