Where is grub installed? Is it via Mint bootloader?
I mean which OS is controlling grub?

If you:
  • Ran MX Boot Repair
  • Chose "Reinstall GRUB bootloader on ESP, MBR or PBR (root) and Clicked Apply,
  • Chose Install on: MBR (default) and Clicked Apply
then you would have GRUB from MX-19 installed on the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the disk,
BUT, this is a UEFI system, so where you boot from is going depend the EFI boot parameters.

I suspect a different GRUB is being called, not MX-19's? :confused2:

What's shown by:

Code: Select all

efibootmgr
You probably want to try MX Boot Repair again, but:
  • Choose "Reinstall GRUB bootloader on ESP, MBR or PBR (root) and Click Apply,
  • Choose Install on: ESP and Click Apply

When you click on advanced options and it open, there are many more options as grub repair, etc

-- if you have an iso live you will see these options over there too, i don't know how to take a capture as you did ...

On installed MX systems, the only "advanced" boot menu items are for choosing either sysVinit or systemd.

the live system has lots of options, include grub rescue type options, but the installed systems do not, and they aren't supposed to.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

I see only the two entries for mx linux for sysvinit and systemd:

What other entries you have in mind? Other kernels?
Or did you added manually some entries using Grub Customizer?
