Are you using the same drive for the dual boot? I ripped a spare SSD from a dead laptop a few years back, and installed tiny11 onto it and used my newer SSD for openSUSE. I’ve never had any issues this way, if that helps?
My system is really just for PC gaming, so I understand!
Technically, all the boot options were on the same drive (same EFI partition, on the disk that was initially used for years by windows), but for some reason, the motherboard decided “nope, there’s no bootloader there”.
I ended up repartitioning the “first” drive seen by the bios to make a 100MB partition at the beginning, named it “EFI system partition”, copied all the content of the old one from the other drive, and nuked the actual windows install in the process (not the boot entry though). Now all is good… I hope :D
Thank you for your reply!
