I tried to do this (getting more space for kernels in the EFI |
| 31 |
partitions) some days ago, and failed on my first try also, I went the |
| 32 |
easy way backing up what I had and deleting, remaking the partition |
| 33 |
using gparted, put the stuff in there(and finally change from |
| 34 |
gummiboot to bootctl), reboot and failed, after sratching my head and |
| 35 |
2 more fails trying FAT16 and going back to FAT32 booting, I noticed I |
| 36 |
had not set the partition type only the label, and didn't found how to |
| 37 |
do that using gparted, so went to the basic: gdisk, and set the |
| 38 |
partition type to EF00 and I it worked. Didn't you miss this sort of |
| 39 |
details? |
