From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alright, could you see what the root variable is in the grub console before manually setting it by running
echo $root, and if it prints anything, could you runls /in the grub console and see if you see like home dev etc, or the directories you would expect to see in / inside linux, and if you do see anything, could you runls /boot/grub/and see if you seegrub.cfg. But if you are already inside linux, go ahead and install grub with--removable, it wont overwrite your current installation. I dont want you to format the efi partition, incase something goes wrong and you wont be able to boot into linux at allSo
echo $rootreturns(hd0,gpt1). I have to set it to hd0,gpt2 to get the boot/linux dirs. I'll try --removable and get back to yaEh, it gives me a grub-like menu but selecting any option just dumps me back into the console.
