There can be exactly 1 EFI partition active at any given time, and 1 per drive. I'm still not sure about your configuration, but I think that if you put an EFI partition on the old drive, and populate it with the correct information in /boot/efi/EFI/fedora, it will then allow you to select that drive as a valid UEFI bootable device in the bios, and that will let you boot the old fedora as UEFI. I'm not sure how you are going to do that, since if you can only boot it in legacy mode, then I don't think you will be able to install the shim into the EFI partition. I guess you can try to install the shim from the legacy boot. Unless you are using sdboot, or create a new partition not named fedora to boot the fedora on the older drive in the new EFI partition (I've been told this is possible, but haven't done it), it isn't possible to boot more than one version of fedora in UEFI mode. I think you have reached the end of any help I can give you. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will jump in. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
