Is there someone that can help me convert my Fedora install from GRUB to
systemd-boot and actually get it where kernel updates won't break it?
The reason is that my MS Surface GO does not work with GRUB for some
reason. Probably a non-standard UEFI implementation but I both found this
to be the case personally and google seem to confirm this. One proposed
solution is to use systemd-boot, which I have semi-successfully done.
Getting to where I can boot the currently installed kernel is
chronicled here:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.o...
If I wasn't using both the internal NVME for "/" and a SD card for
everything else I probably would have just converted the /boot partition to
FAT32 and made it the new ESP partition...
So the last two steps is:
1. See if I can get it working with secure boot enabled.
2. How to make it work with kernel updates which are completely grub
centric.
Side question: If you're booting EFI with GPT partitions, is there any
advantage to using grub over systemd-boot? The latter seems much simpler as
the former seems way more complicated than necessary including the very
fragile environment block[1]
Thanks,
Richard
