rEFInd again
Hi!
There are problems installing rEFInd.
What we have at the moment.
1) installed grub-uefi (see tree output)
2) Installed rEFInd
3) several cores (located in "/boot" which is part of "/")
4) root file system on btrfs (subvolume @)
5) /boot/efi on vfat (see fstab)
Problems.
1) rEFInd did not load until I copied initramfs-linux.img and vmlinuz-linux to the /boot/efi folder (error: not found vmlinuz-linux). After copying, the OS loaded, but this is not an option, because... When updating kernels, files are updated in /boot, not /boot/efi. symlinks in boot say that there are not enough rights to create them (although they are done as root). In my opinion, copying initramfs-linux.img and vmlinuz-linux every time after upgrade kernel(s) is not correct.
Question 1: How can I force refind to see files in /boot rather than /boot/efi?
2) Automatically rEFInd finds and starts loading via /boot/refind_linux.conf , but crashes when mounting the root system (by-uuid), and the UUID is exactly correct
Question 2: how to force the download through this file to load correctly?
Question 3: why the downloader does not see the content /boot
Question 4: can I specify the path ../../vmlinuz-linux? or EFI only sees /boot/efi whel load refind?

Re: rEFInd again
The command lines in your /boot/refind_linux.conf miss a very important part : where refind needs to look for the initrd .
Here's what I use in /boot/refind_linux.conf for an ext4 system with ESP on a separate partition (mounted on /efi ) and boot on root-partition

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
