All the uefi stuff is on a fat filesystem. I would think that something that fundamental (and universally supported) is embedded in the bios. The grub bootloader itself is on that fat filesystem, and it must have loaded or else I wouldn’t have access to the grub edit facility. So I think I’m ok on file system support. > > I haven't ever had to use the edit menu on grub2 that I remember. It > might be worth mentioning that it may have tab completion.

But the file names, uuids, and other things prone to typos that I referenced are generated by grub, so typos are unlikely to be an issue. And I’ve checked them meticulously. They look ok. > > Going back under my desk now. Maybe I’d be less frustrated by this new mobo if I did the same! ;) John
