I understand what you are asking, and it is certainly a conundrum, but I have no insight to offer. Maybe open a bugzilla against grub2. I don't think it is the problem, but the people who maintain grub2 probably have a good understanding of this part of the boot process, and might be able to point to the real culprit. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
