/boot/grub2/grub.cfg vs /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg

Any ideas as to which of these two is actually used and which one could potentially be deleted on an UEFI system running 8.2? Thanks!

/boot/grub2/grub.cfg is used on non-UEFI systems so if you do not have a /sys/firmware/efi on your system then that's the one in use. If you do have /sys/firmware/efi then you are using UEFI and the path is under /boot/efi instead.

Thanks for the swift reply, it saves me a lot of time. To (re-)install grub, I guess
should be avoided and
preferred.

sudo grub2-installCode: Select all

Why do you think you need to reinstall grub? It's almost never required.
If you are suffering from the recent boothole fix problem then that's not the right solution, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5272311 instead

Maybe, symptoms are a black screen since the last update. I can still cross boot in from another OS e.g. Arch (guess that is what a hacker would do) but get:
Code: Select all
# yum downgrade shim\* grub2\* mokutil

Sounds more like you need to go read the thread about the latest updates being broken and how to back them out.

Appreciate. Hopefully, they will find a fix that applies through an update. I keep side booting until then.
