Since when is there an m switch to rm? For me, it is "rm: invalid
option -- 'm'".
Yeah, updating arch without doing so for months might be breaking
things, but I belive this problem was caused by you creating malformed
config files (at least to the installed version).
Also, you might try making a systemctl service which sets the efi
bootnext variable on start (I do so, because Dell doesn't let you put
uefi before legacy in the bootorder)

So, yesterday night, I decided to update my system. I had 4-5 hours to deal with all the nuclear blast that an update of 3 months would cause (the good old arch we all love... I don't know which is worse, rm -rm / or pacman -Syu?). After 10-20 everything was updated and decided to restart. Also, I wanted to change the boot order of my UEFI and boot arch by default instead of win (finals are over). I made the change and saved. The scree was blank for ~10s and I decided to hard reboot. BOOM.
The uefi entry was lost. Also, if I launched grub2 as a uefi shell (which I have for times like that) I got "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" and grub gives me a rescue terminal.
The first problem (uefi entry) is very painful. I have an Asus P9X79 Deluxe. It does NOT support v2 uefi shell (so, no bcfg) and no matter how hard I try to add an entry with efibootmgr, nothing happens (via SysResCD, uefi mode boot with modprobe efivars)
The second problem (grub pukes) I have no clue what's going on. I just updated, even tried grub-mkconfig via chroot and nothing changed. I found 2 threads on arch forums which where not helpful at all.
Any help appreciated :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.1.1
