Hi Thorsten,

Look at how fat grub2 is, how many patches it has and what all is not possible with it, which are nobrainers if you use systemd-boot or grub2-BLS, so pure UEFI bootloaders.
is grub2-BLS the thing using /boot/loader/xxxxx config files per kernel? and then just a very short grub.cfg with some variables and "blscfg" or similar?
We take a different approach than RHEL by putting all BLS config, along with the kernel and initrd, in the EFI partition (/boot/efi) instead of /boot. Also, grub.cfg is not used at all. It is basically the same layout you would have with systemd-boot, just a different loader can be an option. Thanks,
If yes, this is working in RHEL9 perfectly fine on powerpc. Which certainly is not using UEFI :-)
