Once root is mounted, the initramfs is no longer available. The mount of /boot/efi happens after switchroot, but the corresponding /usr/lib/modules aren't there, nor is the initramfs. And that's why mounting /boot/efi fails. This is a problem for any 'rescue' menu entry attempt, where a driver is needed after switchroot, because after switchroot neither the nohostonly initramfs is available, nor is a corresponding /usr/lib/modules. So its not a bug per se, it's a design limitation I guess. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
