I have two ubuntu installed in my system, one on the SSD (nvme0n1p1), and one on the Harddrive (sda1).
After upgrade to 17.10, ubuntu on the SSD wont boot, not being able to find file '/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-041300-generic', although the files are there. (See error: file '/boot/vmlinuz-4.13.0-041300-generic' not found , how to create?)
I see now on gparted, that the partition containing these files is not mounted correctly, so grub cannot see the files.
Where as for the other OS installed in the harddrive, which is working fine, gparted shows:
On start, grub also complaints that "22ac8da-d6…" partition was not found. This is how the SSD partition is apparently mounted.
I guess I should change the mount settings, so nvme0n1p1 has /boot/efi/ as the mount point, and have nvme0n1p2 on / , in other words, exactly how the partitions are set on the harddrive (sda1, sda2).
Any help on how I can do this?
the content of /etc/fstab shows that /boot/efi/ was previously on nvme0n1p1
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

# /boot/efi was on /dev/nvme0n1p1 during installation
UUID=C1DE-5B29 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1

And the output of blkid:

Output of lsblk -f , which agrees with display of gparted:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID MOUNTPOINT

In summary: How can I set the Mount Point of /dev/nvme0n1p1 to /boot/efi/ ?

See if this adds an entry in UEFI to boot from NVMe drive. See man efibootmgr for details on parameters.
But whenever I use a -L label different than Ubuntu, it still boots from the /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg, so make sure you have that also and it is correct. It used to not even have a 3 line grub.cfg in other labels, now it does, but something internally is still coded to only use /EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg.
Script has not been updated to fully show NVMe drives. Your grub.cfg in it should be:
And the one in sda, should have UUID of install in sda, but probably hd1,gpt2, UUID should override device setting. Not sure how UEFI and grub see drives. I plug in external SSD and it becomes hd0 even though sdc in Ubuntu. And then grub/UEFI bumps up all my other drives one number. And if I also have flash drive plugged in I have to change hd0 to hd2 to find install in sda.
