Might want to check the actual file down under /boot somewhere (location varies for old dos versus uefi installs). I'm not even using uefi, yet for some reason I have both these links: /etc/grub2.cfg -> ../boot/grub2/grub.cfg /etc/grub2-efi.cfg -> ../boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg There are also references to things like "hd0,msdos2" in grub.cfg which may need fixing as well. Possibly there is a device.map file that needs fixing as well? I do this all the time to install a new fedora where I want it by installing in a virtual machine then using guestmount and rsync to put it on a "real" disk and boot it from a stand alone grub partition using the "configfile" option. I've never seen a uuid make it's way into an initramfs file before, but if you can get booted by hook or by crook, "dracut -f" forces a rebuild. _______________________________________________ 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
