I can confirm, that I'm running similar setups with beowulf and pure EFI boot here. So basically this should be working. > the plan was a dual boot install with Win10 being installed first, however > after several failed attempts, I scraped Win10 and went for a Linux-only > install. What does "failed attempts" mean here? Did Windows fail to install or boot? I believe that if Win 10 does not install, then there is probably a problem in your EFI Bios. Maybe older OS versions don't use some new EFI feature which is broken on your hardware? > Installation seems to run smoothly but after reboot grub presents itself > without the "graphical" selection menu but instead delivers the line > "Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported..." That typically happens when grub does not find its config file. You could check if the bootloader has been installed successfully: root@zeus:/home/andi# efibootmgr -v BootCurrent: 0001 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0001,000B,0002,0008,0003,0004,0005 Boot0001* debian HD(1,GPT,c00640c3-e748-405b-8139-eeea224542dd,0x800,0x32000)/File(\EFI\DEBIAN\SHIMX64.EFI) ... root@zeus:/home/andi# lsblk -o name,partuuid,mountpoint NAME PARTUUID MOUNTPOINT nvme0n1 ├─nvme0n1p1 c00640c3-e748-405b-8139-eeea224542dd /boot/efi └─nvme0n1p2 b94969ac-596c-460b-9fca-aa911bad2d8c / .... Did you check that you're using GPT partition table? EFI boot wont work reliably without that. > EFI Partition may be missing or too small My EFI partition is 100M ( 6M used ) > Grub.cfg may be missing > I compared the grub.cfg from Debian and Devuan.

Did you bind mound /dev, /sys, /proc and related filesystems? Also /boot (if needed) and efi need to be mounted to get grub properly installed.
