For UEFI boot the best way is to install the kernel to the ESP, especially if it is directly loaded by EFI. Which exact message do you see? It is not clear if the kernel already booted and just cannot find the rootfs, or if even the kernel cannot load. I don't know reFind, but some EFI loaders like gummiboot / systemd-boot expect the kernel to have an EFI stub because the kernel is chain-loaded through EFI... So we need to know a few things: 1. partition layout 2. kernel cmdline 3. boot-loader config 4. exact error message on screen -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
