One is /boot/efi/gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi and another is /boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi. I remember I've created /boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi during install by copying kernel image file to it and supposedly it was for efibootmng. I think gummiboot has created its own gummibootx64.efi. Is that safe to delete */boot/bootx64.efi? Thanks It should be but the easiest certain way to find out is to move it and reboot, if the system doesn't boot then restore it. Also efibootmgr -v will show you which one you're using. -- Fernando Rodriguez
