What, efivars being mounted read-only? Quite sure. If I don't remount them |
| 9 |
read-write, "bootctl install" refuses to run at all. |

I wonder. Just possibly this is a motherboard or UEFI BIOS problem (or one |
| 15 |
I've caused it). When I first received the machine I couldn't get grub to |
| 16 |
install and run, no matter what I tried. That was 18 months ago, since when |
| 17 |
it's been running apparently happily using bootctl. |
