problems dual-booting f25 and rawhide

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

 



I installed rawhide on a separate partition, in parallel
with my old F25 partition.  The new installation works pretty well,
but for some things I need to boot into the old F25 partition.
However, I can't get that to work.

I used the same /boot/efi partition for both.  I assume that is correct.
(I also use the same /home for both.)

One problem is I get this complaint that /boot/efi is:
  unknown filesystem type 'vfat'

Here is the syslog boot-efi.mount output:

● boot-efi.mount - /boot/efi
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; generated; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2017-04-08 08:56:52 PDT; 5min ago
    Where: /boot/efi
     What: /dev/disk/by-uuid/DEC7-ABDD
     Docs: man:fstab(5)
           man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)
  Process: 785 ExecMount=/usr/bin/mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/DEC7-ABDD /boot/efi -t vfat -o umask=0077,shortname=winnt (code=exited, status=32)

Apr 08 08:56:52 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: Mounting /boot/efi...
Apr 08 08:56:52 localhost.localdomain mount[785]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
Apr 08 08:56:52 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: boot-efi.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited status=32

Apr 08 08:56:52 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: boot-efi.mount: Unit entered failed state.

Another annoyance is that the grub menu entries for the F25 entries
don't specify the kernal, so I get 4 identical entries, with no obvious
way to tell them apart.  I created an issue for this, with a possible patch:
