Slackware current UEFI install not bootable from boot menu
by generic.newb_ from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GPKN)
Hi, i want to install slackware current in uefi mode. I made gpt table, Efi System Partition SWAP and Filesystem partitions using gdisk and cgdisk then installed slackware, skipped lilo and bootusbstick and installed elilo to newly made ESP and said yes to add bootmenu entry but after rebooting there is no way to boot into slackware and only way is by launching grub first and letting it scan for bootable stuff.
Everything works fine if instead of making my own ESP i let installer to put entry in windows' ESP. But when I try to make my own ESP no matter if I unplug windows10 drive during installation my bios won't show uefi slackware installation. What is the problem here?
I have so many questions. (and even more about legacy bios stuff and how those mix) There is no "BOOT" folder with somethingx64.efi file on my ESP but there is on windows' bootableESP and on installbootstick, what is it and is this the problem? Why do we even need ESP if installbootsticks don't need it at all. Is it possible/extremely hard to make slackware installation that can be booted both into uefi and legacy like installbootstick?
