WATCH-OUT: Converting from BIOS to EFI boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I recently built a new computer from components and decided to see if I could convert my install from BIOS to UEFI... 

I decided against a manual conversion since I had already seen email traffic that it wasn't a good idea. Instead I decided to do a new install on the new M.2 SSD and then tie in my current install on my old SATA SSD.

It took me a number of reboots to get the bugs worked out afterwards but I got it working and I thought bug free BUT...

I noticed that my computer is still booting an old kernel even though I've installed 3 kernel updates since. I think I found the problem but can't verify until I get home so I can watch the reboot but the symbolic link:

/etc/grub2.cfg

Was still pointing to /boot/grub2 instead of /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

So I'm guessing grubby wasn't updating my grub to boot into the latest kernel.

Anyway, just thought someone else may try and hopefully find this helpful.

Thanks,
Richard
