Re: Possibly broken Grub or initrd after updates on Testing

[Richard Rosner <richard@rosner-online.de>]

I have kept the referral to the old problem in the topic for a reason. Been there, done that. I'm not entirely sure how, but boot-repair was the only thing that was able to fix Grub. Before that I've reinstalled it countless times, thanks.

But since this is very much not an answer to the question at hand, but to the original question - and as such an entirely different topic - I'm rewriting this to the old topic too.

I seriously doubt this is the case. I'm guessing the problem lies elsewhere.

But when I start my system, rEFInd just asks me if I want to boot with fwupd or with the still very broken Grub. Am I missing something? Is rEFInd really just something to select between different OSs (and not just different distributions like Grub can very well do) and then gives the rest over to their bootloaders or am I missing something so rEFInd will take over all of Grubs jobs?

The rEFInd website is at <https://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/>. I'm
guessing you have not taken time to read about it based on your
questions.
