Virgin Framework 12. Installed windows 11 (with upgrades) no problem.
Did a shrink volume.
Installed Fedora 42 from thumb drive. Install and subsequent upgrade
went OK, except for problems with SELinux (my fault). Re-installed
several times, eventually getting things straight.
At some point in the re-install process the Windows 11 entry vanished
from the boot menu.
Windows is there somewhere. Anyone know how to get is back?
Windows doesn't like to be booted from grub. You need to use the BIOS
boot menu to switch.
Hi Samuel,
Just for info, Windows boots quit happily from grub in both an EFI
environment and a legacy environment, I've been using Grub to select
booting into Windows, Fedora and Ubuntu for years, with osprober setting
up a definition for Windows that enabled it to boot.
Having said this though I'm not sure that osprober works properly,
as to boot Ubuntu from the Fedora built grub menus it seems to be
booting directly from the device Ubuntu is installed on rather than the
Windows, Fedora and Ubuntu shared EFI partition which is on a different
device, and if I try to boot from the Ubuntu grub menus (which my
motherboard lets me do) the grub entry for Fedora fails to boot with
SHIM errors, which may be the physical environment that Fedora has now
moved to (I've forgotten what it is called) as historically it used to
work fine.
Again, having said this though, booting Ubuntu from the Fedora grub
menus is currently failing at the point of Ubuntu wanting to start its
gui environment. I thought this might have been because I had to boot
gparted from a CD to resize the Fedora boot partition, as with changes
Fedora has done with the initramfs files in nvidia environments a 500MB
partition is no longer big enough to support maintaining only 2 kernels
without a recovery kernel (dnf can no longer install a third kernel
temporarily as there is not enough disk space) and the partition
resizing may have changed the UUID of the Ubuntu boot partition even
though it didn't change the UUID of the Fedora boot partition.
