Yes, but I am missing some info: Is sda1 marked as ESP? Also, you should mark sda3 as root partition through gptfdisk. That way, any modern EFI boot loader should be able to auto-configure everything. > > > 2. kernel cmdline > > None > > Are you letting rEFInd auto-detect it? Maybe you need to configure it > manually with a root= setting. I think you need a working initrd for auto-detection to work. At least, systemd is able to assemble the partitions from GPT partition type settings and can autodetect boot, swap and rootfs. Otherwise, you should give at least a root= cmdline. > > > 3. boot-loader config > > Grub, without any different config. > > You said you were using rEFInd, why have you got GRUB as well. rEFInd > can work without a config, GRUB cannot. This puzzles me, too... Maybe rEFInd was installed to sda and grub installed to sda1, so rEFInd would chain-boot through grub. Grub, however, won't work without a config file. I'd also suggest to skip grub completely and use just one loader. > > > 4. exact error message on screen > > Kernel boot up, start to load drivers and stop asking for root > > partition. > > That's a summary, not an exact message.

For me, a useful screen shot taken with a mobile phone camera would be a first step. I think there are even services which can OCR such a screen shot... -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
