Unfortunately the server is remote and the CentOS7 USB device I left

So i made a trip and replaced the USB stick with another one - CentOS7
I am unsure what file I need to point the UEFI bios disk manager setup
at, I have tried shim.efi and shimx84-centos.efi
The message I get is that linux16 and initrd16 cannot find their
files. The change to linuxefi and initrdefi also fail but the system
reboot happens before I can see what flashes on screen.
Is a USB based UEFI booted rescue mode the only way I can fix this?
So I then rebooted - selected UEFI native boot and got into rescue mode
- only problem is that the rescue system did not find a Linux system.
Really weird as each of the four drives effectively have a complete
centos7 system. No idea why it didn't start md raid and find the 6 raid1
volumes.
About to give this a miss and just live with legacy boot - this UEFI
thing is just far too complicated. Looking on line at all the various
blogs and questions it seems I am not alone in finding it far too
complicated.
I run a Ubuntu workstation that is UEFI based and their grub.cfg is so
much simpler than the centos one.
TIA for your pointers / suggestions.
