Is it really 1024 bytes? # stat /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv I'm not exactly sure when we started doing this, but.. # ls -ls /boot/grub2 total 4 4 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Apr 18 11:34 grubenv -> ../efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv It's actually a symlink on both BIOS and UEFI. This file will be on the /boot volume (typically ext4) on BIOS systems, and it will be on the EFI System partition (FAT16 if anaconda creates it) on UEFI. But if you did a conversion from BIOS to UEFI, it's possible this symlink is broken and that's why you're getting the error. If the real grub env on /boot/efi doesn't actually exist then you might need to do: #grub2-editenv /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grubenv create -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
