Seems we have found your initramfs location. We installed grub and told it that the efi directory is under /efi. However grub is not picking your initramfs yet. So that’s a problem. What’s under the following location? sudo ls /efi/EFI/*

╰─❯ sudo ls /efi/EFI/ [sudo] password for fj: BOOT dell GRUB Linux systemd UpdateCapsule ╰─❯ sudo ls /efi/EFI/GRUB grubx64.efi

Last thing I would try is the following, but can’t test it out myself. sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi/EFI --bootloader-id=GRUB sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Can you then share the output of both commands?

Still not seeing what I was hoping for. I can reinstall my EndeavourOS vm with systemd-boot and then try to convert it to Grub if you like?
