Simple answer, don't use GRUB :-) Seriously, GRUB is a bootloader, EFI is a bootloader. You are using one bootloader to load another bootloader before booting the system. rEFIind and systemd-boot are both boot managers, they work with the EFI bootloader - or you can boot a kernel directly without a boot manager, but I prefer not to do that as it gives no opportunity to edit options when booting. If you like simple, here is a config file I use with systemd-boot version 6.1.57-gentoo linux /vmlinuz-6.1.57-gentoo options root=/dev/sda3 panic=10 net.ifnames=0 i915.enable_ips=0 That's it! There is a separate file for each menu entry, but they are this simple. There's also a global loader.conf, that runs to a massive 2 lines here! -- Neil Bothwick If you catch an exploding manhole cover, you can keep it.
