I borked my bootloader on MLK day and I have spent the past 2 weeks trying to figure out how to fix it. When I installed Nobara Linux it installed a linux boot partition beyond the windows partition and the linux root partition after that. This was fine for awhile but I didnt give myself enough space and I wasnt sure if moving the boot partition would cause it to no longer boot so I tried to instal /boot into the windows efi partition and removed the linux boot partition which borked my ability to boot to both windows and linux somehow. I then decided to erase the efi partition and start over which may not have been the best use of my time but here we are. I have coppied the boot files from the installer to the windows efi partition, installed grub to it, and mounted it to /boot in fstab. I now have the computer to the point where I have a perfectly good grub.conf file which is capable of booting windows or Linux but grub just doesn't want to run this file unless I specifically tell it to. It boots to a grub commandline with grub> and if I enter configfile /grub/grub.cfg it boots fine I just dont want to have to do that every time. I have tried just about everything I could find on google about the issue but most of it is MBR specific and I am running on EFI. I have also tried using the auto grub fix option in rescatux. I am convinced that either the grub files are in the wrong place or its configured to look in the wrong place to find them. I just cant find out where that place is supposed to be. Let me know if you can help point me in the right direction
