Hi All.
I have come over from years of Arch-ness and Manjaro with mkinitcpio.
Single FAT32 EFI partition and root under BTRFS. Everything in EFI is nicely orgaznied and using systemd-boot as well.
I have noticed that ‘kernel-install’ drops some files into /boot and module updates also want to see /boot.
My goal is to use /efi exclusively and drop /boot. Are there some specific configs I need to alter?
TY!

kernel-install drops files into your ESP partition. Unless you mounted your ESP at /boot, kernel-install should not be putting files there. Can you provide specifics?
That being said, some packages write files directly into /boot. That being said, those files aren’t actually used for booting when you use systemd-boot in EOS. You don’t need a separate partition for /boot
I have since changed the partition flags from what it was (msfttdata…not sure how that happened) to boot,efi to make things happier for what would look at that. I did notice virtualbox complained initially until I made the /boot folder even though it didn’t install there.
I just ran ‘update-kernels’ again with the changed partition flags and no /boot and it did drop everything into /efi as expected. I will assume the partition flags now being set correctly fixed that…just for future note?
TY!
Kev.
