Yes, but I am missing some info: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Is sda1 marked as ESP? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Also, you should mark sda3 as root partition through gptfdisk. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
That way, any modern EFI boot loader should be able to auto-configure |
| 27 |
everything. |

I think you need a working initrd for auto-detection to work. At least, |
| 36 |
systemd is able to assemble the partitions from GPT partition type |
| 37 |
settings and can autodetect boot, swap and rootfs. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Otherwise, you should give at least a root= cmdline. |

This puzzles me, too... Maybe rEFInd was installed to sda and grub |
| 48 |
installed to sda1, so rEFInd would chain-boot through grub. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Grub, however, won't work without a config file. I'd also suggest to |
| 51 |
skip grub completely and use just one loader. |

Yes, this is not helpful. How could one expect us to be helpful if |
| 61 |
she/he refuses to give details? Nobody requires to copy the screen |
| 62 |
contents by hand. For me, a useful screen shot taken with a mobile |
| 63 |
phone camera would be a first step. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
I think there are even services which can OCR such a screen shot... |
