| Jul 31 at 15:05 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | I'm not sure why this has gotten adversarial; I apologize. It doesn't change the fact that you need to stay with modifying GRUB here. | |
| Jul 31 at 15:03 | comment | added | ron | No I am not expecting deleting EFI boot loader executables is a good idea. Thanks for gaslighting | |
| Jul 31 at 14:53 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | i don't know what to tell you. You don't want to screw up GRUB, but you're expecting that deleting EFI boot loader executables is a good idea. That makes no sense. You're barking up the wrong tree. | |
| Jul 31 at 14:46 | comment | added | ron | I expect to screw up grub on any given disk | |
| Jul 31 at 14:45 | comment | added | ron | I do not want to modify the grub menu on some [arbitrarily chosen] disk to that is where I choose which disk to boot. I expect to corrupt disks in testing and remove disks completely so I can't rely on any one disk for anything. So I want it done at the BIOS/EFI level, which I've had zero problems with doing at home for 10+ years | |
| Jul 31 at 14:19 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | no, that's not at all what I'm saying. Please read closely. | |
| Jul 31 at 14:16 | comment | added | ron | so you're saying i cannot manipulate the EFI boot manager via F11 on a [Dell] server? I need to be able to conveniently choose which of at least 2 disks in the server (out of 16 that it could possibly hold) to boot different operating systems. I simply put a rhel-8.10 on one disk, rhel-9.6 on another disk, rhel-10.0 on another, to do evaluation of software & operating system compatibility. I need an acceptable way to choose which one boots... which I can do on my home ASROCK pc. | |
| Jul 31 at 13:55 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | (and even if this was actually addressed by the EFI programs in that directory, still the wrong way to go: you would then still need to remove the boot loader entries from your machine's NVRAM.) | |
| Jul 30 at 22:41 | comment | added | Marcus Müller | not the way to go. The selection of these would usually be in GRUB, so leave your EFI files alone. | |
| Jul 30 at 18:49 | comment | added | ron | I have multiple disks in the server I want to boot from, from RHEL-8.10 and RHEL-9.6 and RHEL-10, and I want to be able to F11 and delete all the existing menu options and then add just these 3 items... choosing the correct .efi file. so it would be the BOOTX64.efi file? I am not doing any secure booting. | |
