So, you have Grub setup to give a menu, pause, or at least do something visible, and it's skipping right past that? That makes me suspect that Grub's not running at all, and that the kernel's being loaded by UEFI directly. What files are in /boot/ on your efi partition (preferably identified with the file command)? If you have a kernel in there named bootx64.efi, that's likely the culprit. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
