This stick is not configured for UEFI booting. Instead of a required EFI System partition (ESP) of 100M or more you have a 1M BIOS boot partition.
# fdisk -l ... Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 657407 655360 320M EFI System ...
My boot drive
# fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1p1 Disk /dev/nvme0n1p1: 200 MiB, 209715200 bytes, 409600 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x00000000
I see what you mean. Is there anyway to stick the EUFI on the flash drive, or do I have to erase it and start over?
The ESP doesn't need to be too big, so you can probably take 200MB from the /boot partition to extend the first partition. Then you need to format it as FAT32 and flag it correctly (gparted knows how to do it). Then you need to install (or re-install) grub2-efi. Hopefully that will do it. You could probably copy the efi partition from another drive to get started. That might let you boot and re-install from the running system.
