System conversion from BIOS_BOOT to UEFI boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I had an older computer which I use gpt partitioning on before I released that was incompatible with BIOS booting with a small BIOS_BOOT partition.

I have upgraded the computer and hard drive and used clonezilla to copy everything over.

I was aware of the BIOS_BOOT problem so I deleted that partition and created a fat32 EFI partition and tied it in to /etc/fstab.

I also installed/reinstalled grub2-efi, grub2-efi-x64, and shim to get all the correct files installed in EFI/fedora

I then ran grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

The system is booting but gets stuck at
"Basic System " or whatever. It eventually bombs with dracut and says it can't find any of my LVM volumes, which is silly because I mounted them during the chroot process to convert to EFI boot.

Is it as simple as regenerating the initramfs?

Thanks,
Richard
