The grub2-install command above - with efi you have to "announce" the |
| 29 |
the information to boot with. I look at it as similar to grub |
| 30 |
installing into the MBR, but thats a very loose metaphor :) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The problem you are describing might be that this "announcement" is |
| 33 |
missing/corrupted. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The EFI directory is Apples (this is a macbook air), the grub2-mkconfig |
| 36 |
searches for all the bootable kernels and builds a menu for them. I |
| 37 |
think this is close to default efi in layout as "EFI" seems to be in the |
| 38 |
spec. |
