Yeah, I've been using that directory for many many long years, I ended |
| 15 |
up removing the grub directory completely and re-installing, it's much |
| 16 |
cleaner now. |

I think there's something with how I'm compiling the kernel and the EFI |
| 19 |
boot requirements aren't quite being met and the loader is trying to |
| 20 |
execute non-code or some other error of that general nature. But that's |
| 21 |
just a brainstorm, I really hate it when my machine gives me this kind |
| 22 |
of problem where I don't even have an error message. |

Hmm, I just realized that I had been assuming my machine had a proper 64 |
| 36 |
bit loader, maybe it's 32 bit for some stupid reason, enabling kernel |
| 37 |
flag and doing another test (after dinner and some youtube vids...) |
