Thanks! I do have grub2-efi-x64 installed. $ sudo dnf install grub2-efi Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded. Package "grub2-efi-ia32-1:2.12-28.fc42.x86_64" is already installed. Package "grub2-efi-x64-1:2.12-28.fc42.x86_64" is already installed. Nothing to do. Not sure if I need grub2-efi-ia32 but I can not seem to remove it.
