Later, as the usual kernel build for Fedora did not support touch on the pro4, Jake Day's 5.1 kernel was build on the system, but i needed to be started without secure boot. now, the efi stuff is installed, i accept a few "oh, theres efi, i do efi" mistakes from time to time. But i don't have a clue, how the system could boot with those symlinks before that grub-install destroyed it. And still,we do not know why the f33 livedisc does not boot at all when inserted early AND why grub-install /dev/USBDRIVE (correct devicename ofcourse ) is overwriting the ssd boot setup, instead of the usbdrive bootconfig. best regards, Marius _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
