I built the rawhide version in mock and installed that. I still get the same error (briefly, as before), but now the graphical menu starts and doesn't work. When I press Enter to "boot" one of the items, it says that it can't find "/vmlinuz-5.18.19-200.fc36.x86_64" and "/initramfs-5.18.19-200.fc36.x86_64.img" and returns to the menu. Please let me know if I can provide further information. grub2-emu-2.06-55.fc36.x86_64 (In reply to Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from comment #5) > I built the rawhide version in mock and installed that.

I get to menu, but booting the entry fails with error. Screenshots attached. Created attachment 1932120 [details]
grub2-emu fails to find kernel+initrd
Please use grub2-2.06-84.fc38 or later to check whether the issue is fixed. grub2-emu-2.06-85.fc38.x86_64 I get: GRUB version 2.06 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions. grub> There's some different message that flashes for a fraction of a second first, but I wasn't able to capture it. I believe this is fixed in grub2-2.06-89.fc39. If so, the issue was that BLS defines paths relative to the mountpoint of the filesystem containing snippets, not / or anything fixed. To cope with that, we needed to detect the two cases in -emu.

Created attachment 1907501 [details] screenshot with error shown briefly Description of problem: I installed a basic F36 workstation installation in a VM with UEFI. All defaults. Running grub2-emu fails: $ sudo grub2-emu Use 'grub-emu --kexec' to force a system restart. Aborted. Press any key to exit. There's a screenshot that is shown on alt-screen very briefly and goes away. I managed to capture it in a screenshot, attached. The numbers that are shown match the fields in /etc/fstab. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub2-emu-2.06-52.fc36.x86_64 How reproducible: Deterministic It seems to work for some people, but not for other people, even though we tried to install VMs in a very similar way. Steps to Reproduce: 1. virt-install --boot uefi ... 2. sudo grub2-emu
