Salutations, In these cases, I usually whip out a copy of refind-efi on cd and boot that via uefi. Refind-efi now detects kernels in /boot so it may be able to detect the Arch and Ubuntu kernels. This would allow you to boot the kernels into uefi mode and run efibootmgr. Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: "Alan E.

I installed gummiboot on /boot, where the kernel was. But I didn't move the ubuntu kernel over. In the end, Windows still booted, and I was able to get back to a boot menu from there, and boot ubuntu. Not Arch. Yet. Thank you for now.
