[Solved] Booting with EFISTUB using partit labels instead of PARTUUID
I am currently in the process of swapping from grub to EFISTUB since i wanted to try out the "no-bootloader" way...
whenever i use
>>> efibootmgr --disk /dev/nvme0n1 --part 5 --create --label "Arch Linux" --loader /vmlinuz-linux --unicode 'root=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX rw initrd=\initramfs-linux.img' --verbose
to generate the boot entry it doesnt boot afterwards and says that it cant find the device PARTUUID= ...
(yes, i did run fstab with -U and i did replace the XXXX... in the command with my actual partuuid)
Is there a way to circumvent this by using partition labels? and what would the entry for root= be ?
root=LABEL=.... ?
Edit/Solution:
root=LABEL=.... for using with FileSystem Labels
root=PARTLABEL=... for using with GPT Partition Labels

Not really, at the point you have access to a LABEL you also have access to a partuuid, unless your UEFI truncates too long entry lines and thus clips the PARTUUID. Did you check the resultant entry on whether it actually contains the full cmdline ?
If you still want to try that approach: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Persis … g#by-label https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Persis … parameters

I presume you meant that you ran genfstab -U.
A UUID and PARTUUID are distinct things. One is a property of the file system, the other a property of the partition. The same is true for LABEL vs PARTLABEL.
Make sure you're not mixing them up.
