Are you trying to convert from bios/mbr boot to uefi boot on the upgrade? I think if you already have a bios/mbr boot system, it would be better to upgrade with the same method of boot, and once the upgrade is complete pursue the conversion. I vaguely remember that there was a conversion to snippets around F28 to F30, and that changed the boot process as well. > ran grub2-mkconfig. No entries again in output.

Can you post the output of ls /boot and ls /boot/grub2/ and ls /boot/efi/EFI/fedora > Tried grub2-install /dev/sda2, but that died because no EFI grub > files. Are you using a gpt formatted disk?

I think you will have to install uefi from an installer booted in uefi. i.e. fresh install Maybe someone else can give better information. > There's a grub.cfg.rpmsave which seems to have been generated by > anaconda.

I confess that I'm confused, and we're in areas that I have only passing acquaintance with. For some reason, you are a corner case, and I can't understand why from the information I have. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
