<br />
In my situation a separate boot partition was present, with the rootfs and swap on lvm logical volumes. There was a kernel image and initrd.img present on the /boot.<br />
<br />
The ls command showed me my two partitions that was promising, although it could not interpret the rootfs, maybe because it is on a logical volume?<br />
<br />
I ran the below commands to successfully boot.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
set root=(hd0,gpt1)<br />
linux (hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/vg0/rootfs<br />
initrd (hd0,gpt2)/initramfs-linux.img<br />
boot<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This successfully booted.<br />
<br />
To make these changes persistent.</div>Alex
