That fixed it. Since I was in a chroot, I had to run the command that changes PS1 so I don't forget where I am. LOL >> I think I either missed something or set something wrong somewhere.

There's nothing magic about UEFI.

I need to understand efi better. Right now, all I know is it takes the place of the old BIOS. Beyond that, no idea. Keep in mind, I've never seen one before, haven't even seen one now either. o_- I'm not opposed to efi. I remember when the old Grub reached its end of life. Grub2 is different but it works. I don't use the eye candy part so that makes it even easier. The biggest thing, I copy my kernels and such over manually and I keep a couple older ones that I want to be available. I also plan to install memtest, a rescue image or two and those need to be available as well. I may still use Grub, I may not. Right now, I'm clueless. I'm just trying to follow the docs which given all the options available are confusing to follow. Thanks for the help. Progress. :-D Dale :-) :-)
