    now with this century and PC, all want to be secure ! At home...

    so, a example, i have a old tower PC, the graphic card a have
    first, nvidia GPU...and, all work well, a tiny GT210 work fine
    with " nouveau " driver...

    the way boot is UEFI.

    secure boot is off.

    but, i do a uefi part format in fat32...i put and write well
    the repertories...the files are in the good place...
    i get only bootx64.efi (a quiet version shell uefi) and grubx64.efi 2.12
    from the iso DVD linux mint 22.2.

    so this time i don't use startup.sh files...beacause i respected the
    s‚quence uefi boot...(BIOS, Part fat32, rep and files)

    usualy, may be...u install your hard drive connected in sata and the
    linux live is on a usb3.0 enclosure. i use this way. now, usb3.0, i
    should find PC with native use 3.0.

    but what append ? u have minimum 2 files...grub.cfg and...and...fstab !

    so, if u need order for the kernel...put it in grub.cfg...i never
    desactivated "nouveau" acceleration ! realy...is the last way to startx fastly... ;-)

    the first and killed error is the uuid identification part in grub.cfg
    and sure in fstab...why ? u know, the numbers is NOT the same if u boot
    from a usb...and...the spec say...if u have a hard drive in sata, if the
    sata is the ONE...this one is your hd0 for grub !

    so...control with mint tool , use the live to control if boot is broken
    control the uuid for the uefi part...sure...for the swap
    part...and...and the part where u have the Super Linux OS !!!

    some example command syntaxe for the kernel

    fsck.mode=skip pcie_aspm=off nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 quiet splash


    but...u can have a surprise ! is the geek life u know ! don't
    use quiet and splash first...step after step...control what u need,
    control the nice and tiny line for grub... u don't see ro in this cfg
    isn't it ?


    for fstab, we can see that for example

    nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1ms


    u can hunderstand why !!!



    for END, they are no the same PC for ALL, and may be sometime they are
    some specifics problŠmes.

    my partition choice is not yours part drive ! so see well if OS is on /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda3

    etc,etc...

    good boot ;


    here they are me !!! :o)

    sorry one more info !


    do a usb key with gpt table...do the uefi part in fat32

    and, DON'T put grub in mbr !!!

    if u boot well ! howmany times u'll change grub.cfg in your life ???

    so in the install, see under the menu and choice usb key to put
    grub (install)... this key is a bin !!!! (poubelle)

    if the sequence is well in uefi part...done !!

    and ! don't have one more grub.cfg in your drive connected !!

    after grub 0.99 legacy, grub know find all cfg files in the DRIVES ! it
    can do problŠmes...

    and, if the syntaxe is very bad...grub down...so...read !
