Just coming to this belatedly, not having noticed what may be a connection until now. I |
| 6 |
have an Asus X99-A motherboard, and I never got grub to work at all. I use a |
| 7 |
combination of efibootmgr and bootctl to manage my boot process. (Bootctl is in sys- |
| 8 |
boot/systemd-boot; that's the only systemd package I have on this openrc system.) |

You could look at the handbook [1] for how to set these up. I had to develop my own |
| 11 |
method by picking bits out of it. I use efibootmgr to create entries in the UEFI BIOS, then |
| 12 |
bootctl to keep them up to date. Oh, and I had to leave a small, otherwise unused |
| 13 |
partition before the FAT32 boot partition. From parted: |

This may be a red herring of course; I wouldn't be too surprised if I'm doing things all |
| 23 |
wrong, and your motherboard may differ from mine in many ways. |
