Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo efibootmgr
With so many distros is very likely that another one is managing your booting.

What about doing some simple steps:
Reboot (in UEFI mode as you have done)
Login to MX17
Open terminal
Show what grub.cfg we have by runnig this

Code: Select all

ls -l /boot/grub/grub.*
and perahbs have a sneaky look what entries and kernels we have in the menu:

Code: Select all

sed -nr   '/menuentry|vmlinuz/{s/--.*//;p}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Now regenerate grub menu and post the output:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub
Now show again if we have a changed grub menu

Code: Select all

ls -l /boot/grub/grub.*
Check again the kernels in the menu:

Code: Select all

sed -nr   '/menuentry|vmlinuz/{s/--.*//;p}' /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Had a system crash on shut down. Could not boot to the hard drive when I returned, that's how I found out about the crash. I tested all the hard ware, checked connections. I had some drive partition errors that I could not get corrected. All the test took sometime to do. Finally decide to just wipe the hard drive and start from scratch again. I'm back up and running but still have a lot to put back together. I did get the antiX kernel install on this new setup.

Sorry about not getting back and replying to any posts I made, to much to do to get back up plus other items to do.
It is easier to fight for one's principles then to live up to them.
