Same problems with several kernels and associated initrds, the latter produced by genkernel or dracut or even some gibberish I pretended was an initrd. From grub debug output, I believe the problem exists right before the kernel tries to use the initrd. It’s contents are irrelevant at that stage. and reinstalling grub. That may or may not be the answer, but it’s such an obvious step. Will definitely give that a try. I.e.

I just now used efibootmgr to create a uefi entry with kernel command line parameters to define the root fs and initrd. That worked. That result focuses the blame on grub. John >
