Well you're long overdue for a fresh installation :) The UEFI firmware mainly supports the FAT family of filesystems so yours is probably fat16 or fat32. You need to make sure that's still there. You should be able to mount it with: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt Once you mount that make sure the PATH for the boot loader you used in the efibootmgr exists: /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/shimx64.efi or /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubx64.efi (for non-secure boots) If you have those I don't see why it won't boot. You should at least get the GRUB menu. I'll try these 3 things: 1) search for the FAT32 partition and make sure you have the files in there. Run efibootmgr -v and confirm the shown PATH for the boot loader is the correct one. If it doesn't boot and you don't have a backup for it to restore then ... 2) try to enable CSM in your UEFI setup so that your system can boot in BIOS mode hoping you still have a working MBR and GRUB is installed there (see if it boots). If that doesn work... 3) grab what you need from booting off the USB stick and be done with it. Install Fedora 33. -- Jorge _______________________________________________ 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
