failed to mount /boot/efi

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

On a dual boot machine (one fc32, and one fc34).
after I upgraded the fc32 to fc34, I cannot boot on the new fc34.
I get
failed to mount /boot/efi
/boot/efi is shared by both machines

Here is the fstab of the fc34 machine

#
UUID=a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39 /                       ext4    defaults        1 1
UUID=B2EF-0CE4          /boot/efi               vfat    umask=0077,shortname=winnt 0 2

The /boot/efi seem correct (it is currently mounted by the fc32).

blkid |grep B2EF
/dev/sdb1: UUID="B2EF-0CE4" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI System Partition" PARTUUID="0fe1d405-6683-456c-a306-140e882e322c"

What should I do ?
It seems that the installer create /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
with
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=dev a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39
set prefix=($dev)/boot/grub2
export $prefix
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg

(I could not boot either)
Then I run (from the fc32)
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.new

and used this file to boot (by renamed).

But I still have the same issue.

What to do?
It seems that there is a similar issue inb

Yes, bootctl is for the systemd-boot bootloader, which Fedora doesn't
use right now.

What does happen? I'm not sure what "cannot boot" means because it
doesn't tell me how it's failing.

I'm not really certain the best way to share a single
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora between two Fedoras.

My idea would be for Fedora 34 to be primary, and exclude shim and all
of grub2 from being updated on Fedora 32. Well, ha, as I think about
it, that doesn't matter anymore because there are no more updates,
it's EOL.

What you really want to do though is share a single /boot because the
single bootloader needs to see a single set of configuration files
found in /boot/loader/entries. And the f32 snippets will point to the
f32 kernels and f32 system root. And the f34 snippets will point to
the f34 kernels and system root. It definitely works, except for one
problem:

OK I can't tell where the f32 /boot is, but you need all the snippets
in one /boot/loader/entries that both f32 and f34 share.

I'm not sure why /boot/efi is failing to mount need to see logs for
that, but you can also add nofail to the fstab for it so at least boot
won't hang.

The gist of what you need is one f34 bootloader in
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/ and its grub.cfg points to the real grub.cfg at
/boot/grub2 which in turn loads blscfg.mod which finds and reads
/boot/loader/entries and then creates a GRUB menu from all the
snippets found there.

Hello,

Running fc32 and fc34 is temporary
Actually, it is to be sure that I will not have issues when updating the fc32 to fc34
which really matters.
The fc32 is the primary system, but again, as soon that I have been able to
run properly the fc42, I will upgrade it.

I did the same procedure on another machine and it was absolutely fine.
I am a bit stuck for now.
Obviously, there are some interference between the 2 systems.
Is it only under the control of grub2?

The incomplete booting says:
failed to mount /boot:efi
check journalctl -xb
.etc..
Cannot open access to console the root account is locked

see man sulogin.

Press Enter to continue

Than, I did press Enter, I just get a couple of messages and and again get
Press Enter to continue

When I check journalctl (when I can boot on the fc30 rescue version), I do
not see any think in red which could point the issue.
The output of journalctl is very long.

How can I provide more information?

Thanks

Did you add nofail to fstab options for the /boot/efi line?

Can you post 'journalctl -b -o short-monotonic --no-hostname' somewhere?

[Patrick Dupre]

Thanks,

nofail let me run the initialization.

Then,
mount /boot/efi
mount: /boot/efi: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'.

I also noted during the load:
FAILED: failed to start load kernel modules

Now 
journalctl -b -o short-monotonic --no-hostname

It is long, I noted (in red):

You appear to be booting into a kernel that doesn’t have any kernel modules available.  Can you share with us the output of “uname -r” and “rpm -q kernel kernel-modules”?

I expect you’ve either managed to not have them installed or you are booting a kernel from another version of Fedora (possibly due to your dual-boot setup?) and there’s no kernel modules at all.

I see a missing sound driver in your output too, which would also point at kernel/modules mismatch.

If he ran a grub-mkconfig to regenerate the grub I am pretty sure it
will make all kernels use the same options.  I will mean that all
boots have the same root=

Sorry Jonathan,

But, I did not see your message!

Anyway, thanks to your help. I understood that I did not boot by using the
correct kernel. There was 5 options, and I did not try the right one!

The issue is fixed.

failed to mount /boot/efi Help!

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

It is now 2 days that I am stuck with this issue.
I search on internet, but I did not find clear solutions which I could trust.

Here is the fstab
UUID=a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39 /                       ext4    defaults        1 1
UUID=B2EF-0CE4          /boot/efi               vfat    umask=0077,shortname=winnt,nofail 0 2

/boot/efi is mounted properly with fc32.

Is it an issue with the modules ?

failed to mount /boot/efi Help!

[Roger Heflin]

The modules issue is your root= line is pointing to the wrong root device.

I am going to guess that all of your boot's have root= that are the
same when the f32 ones should be pointing at the f32 root and the f34
ones should be pointing at f34.

On the ones that don't boot it will need to be changed to the other
root device (ie /).

failed to mount /boot/efi Help!

[Patrick Dupre]

Thanks for the feedback,

However, I do not understand.
Do you mean in the grub configuration
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
I have
menuentry 'Fedora 34 (Workstation Edition) (on /dev/sda6)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-/boot/vmlinuz-5.12.14-300.fc34.x86_64--a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39' {
                insmod part_gpt
                insmod ext2
                set root='hd0,gpt6'
                if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
                  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt6 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt6 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt6  a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39
                else
                  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root a5b809ae-61c2-4d67-b0f3-109e99faad39
                fi
                linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.12.14-300.fc34.x86_64 root=/dev/sda6
                initrd /boot/initramfs-5.12.14-300.fc34.x86_64.img
        }

which seems correct to me.

You never answered my question.

Can you share with us the output of “uname -r” and “rpm -q kernel kernel-modules”?
