OK, now it works with that UID given by blkid. Previously, I was using "UID" given by Gparted and ls -lha /dev/disk/by-uuid. And altough I was aware of few "UID"s (UUID, GUID etc), I was pretty convinced that these tools would give me a correct UID in case of FAT-based partition, but apparently there are too many UIDs - and given by various tools - which leads to nothing but confusion. I am really sorry you have to deal with that mess, because OS makers try to force own solutions instead of present...

So - shortly - ESPs are not recognizable for loader token at this moment ? As far as I know, I can't relabel ESP, and they all have the same (filesystem ?) label "System" by default. Maybe is it any chance to make some workaround in rEFInd code to recognize ESPs - or all FATs in general - at loading all partitions stage and identify them by FAT serial number (because it's all they can be identified by, I'm afraid - or am I wrong ?).

I'm quite sure the 225A-B0BF's GRUB is loading F31, because I've got an UEFI BIOS entry done with: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/md126 -p 8 -l \\EFI\\fedora\\grubx64.efi -L FEDORA311 which loads that GRUB and its menu shows few F31 kernels to boot. So - UEFI BIOS can read that ESP and start F31 GRUB, but rEFInd can't, from some reason. I'm old school man and all (un)related questions I answer & explain, maybe they look like unrelated, but they all matter at least to me, when I remind this thred after some...

Sorry for interrupting this interesting firmware_bootnum sub-thread, but I'm still waiting for any clue why a volume token doesn't work properly (at least for me - regarding to multiple EFI partitions) ?

Thank you for reply. I haven't noticed that revision changed in the meanwhile, so I've downloaded & updated rEFInd bootloader. Now it firmware_bootnum works indeed. And as you said, it works slow, because it performs a machine reset, but I didn't know that until I've checked it myself. So I will drop that method, however it's very simple and convenient way to create stanzas. Stanzas show duplicates because of post scriptum to my previous message, which you apparently missed :) This problem is solved...

Hello again, I'm back equipped with some new knowledge and experience ;-) At this stage I think the best would be using stanzas with "firmware_bootnum" token - frankly, when I've found this option at your Rodbooks website, I knew this was it. At the same moment - asking Fedora forums - I've found a tip I must have multiple ESP partitions. Fortunately, or not - it's not a point :) but it is doable and meets my requirements :) So every linux partition will have its own ESP partition, this will clean...

I'm sorry, there is so many news which got me during "simple" RAID-0 creation that I have to slow down a bit and find out what is what now :) I have had system completely fine, running what I wanted with no issues. Until this small upgrade. BTRFS (aborted), LVM, EFI boot, new rEFInd, grub2-efi etc = it all appeared suddenly on this occassion I think LVM is not in use, because I've set up partitions under fdisk during W10 installation - and only formatted some of them to ext4 at Fedora install stage....

Fedora didn't switch to XFS, but recommends BTRFS, which made me so many troubles with partition imaging under Windows (BTRFS not supported), so finally I've ended up with old, good ext4 probably on the top of LVM, but without using its features like volume group, so rEFInd should run with no caugh :) I will try that old-school method with backup & restore files, so will see how that works.

Hi, Thank you for replies.

I'v e installed it on the occassion on some hardware upgrade, which caused some fresh Linux installs and it's how the mess begins :) I can't make it working with manual stanzas only where linux entries use "old school": volume loader initrd options It simply doesn't work (frankly I've made partition images as a backups and after hardware update restored them in the same order, but making changes in UUIDs, configuring&reinstalling grub2 via chroot etc)...

I've achieved dual Windows boot (different drives) by mixing appropriate stanzas (which contains first Windows entry) and automatic rEFInd search (with filters like dont_scan, which keep second Windows entry only visible). Chatting with Microsoft representative is useless. They claim "Windows is not designed for multiple instances" (you can react "so why Windows boot menu for" - but it only prolongs convulsions of that chat), and get rid of you by promise "we will send you an e-mail with all recent...

UEFI BIOS keeps boot list and queue in NVRAM, so it's required anyways. Try to reset NVRAM. I've done it few times to repair startup on some 2nd/3rd gen of Intel core i CPU-based PCs, which are most vulnerable to NVRAM quirks AFAIK. Software required depends on BIOS type, and sometimes flashing whole UEFI-BIOS is needed (BIOS program, boot code and NVRAM), but I have no idea how it goes on Macs.

Hi, I've got similar problem with my PC using very popular config of SSD + HDD. Both drives have EFI partition as both can be used independently as lone/main boot drive. But what Windows Boot Manager is doing = equals some kind of joke. EasyUEFI (PC soft - try to find out if there's a Mac version) can ammend pointing each of WBM to correct drive/partition, but it changes nothing in terms of booting. By the way you can't mount another EFI partition (to pick proper bootloader from another drive) as...
