This why you are having problem with grub. Grub is simply non-functional and unneeded on your system.
If you want to let your EnOSā systemd-boot manage booting of your other Linux systems (which use grub), read carefully through the following article to get acquainted with systemd-boot:
I see, well that is to difficult for my level, i think it is better to reinstall, now how do we do that right in Calamares?, the options were /efi, in Fat32 (without to format, of course) would you tell me what i did wrong in Calamares? thanks.
during the install process you choose the boot loader. Systemd is the default but you can switch it to grub if you prefer to use grub as many other users here do.
If so, from now on use the reply button under the post you want to reply to for the person in question to get notified.
So, for example, if your MX23 is installed and functional, do the following to create a boot entry for it:
sudo nano /efi/loader/entries/mx23.conf
and put the following in:
title MX Linux 23
efi /EFI/MX23/grubx64.efi
save the file.
Reboot and check if you have a boot entry for MX Linux 23 on your EnOSā systemd-boot menu.
Try booting it up and see if it will take you to MX23 grub boot menu.
If this works. Do the same for all the other systems. Check the output of the efibootmgr to see what efi binary and what location you need to use in each case.
While you was be writing the post I decided to reinstall, well, the thing was that I did the installation in a hurry, did not consider the options and continued ā¦ and it was left with (systemd/boot) that comes by default (bad idea).
Now after uncommenting os-prober ā¦ and sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg everything is in order.
