Technical problem for which I haven't found a hint of an answer online:
I'm installing CentOS 7.0 x64 on a Thinkpad, my first Linux install. The install seems to go fine but on boot, right after the BIOS splash screen, in text mode, I see the following, then it stops (I'm going to use italics to be nice to people with small screens):
Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi: Not Found
start_image() returned Not Found
Secure boot is enabled, in case that's important. I've no idea why backslashes are used but I'm going to overlook that for now.
I booted to rescue mode and looked at the file system. /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ indeed lacks grubx64.efi; I did find /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub64.efi [0] (I'm assuming the paths in the error message are all relative to /mnt/sysimage/boot/efi, because that's the only place I see relevant files).
Do I just copy the grubx64.efi file to ../EFI/BOOT/? Change the path in some config file to point at ../EFI/centos/? Or am I on the completely wrong path?
[0] Sh-ucks. My notes say the filename is ../centos/grub64.efi; the error message says grubx64.efi (i.e., with an x between grub and 64). Hopefully it's a typo in my notes. I don't have the laptop with me to check.
