Maybe, you should create an EFI partition. Typing "df", do you get
something like
/dev/nvme0n1p1 973952 6184 967768 1% /boot/efi
(or perhaps /dev/sda1)?
Good luck, François

Spent a long time researching: common problem going back years. Seems
to revolve around boot, legacy vs new. I haven't touched any boot
settings. Tried different partitions and flags. Tried using sda1
instead of sda - same error.
sda - all primary partitions
1M (appears by itself, no format)
500M tried /BOOT and nothing
50G ext4 /
16M swap
remainder of space ext4 but not mounted
sdb ext4 /HOME
Is there a different sda partitioning I need? No data on it so no worries.
If I had hair, I'd be pulling it out.
Thanks.
