My thoughts are I may have to do the above commands from an Ubuntu 20.04.1 live USB so the grub gets updated, note above the grub update did not work, (drive busy)
What do you think???
ah I think I have an idea.
I don’t have ubuntu 20 (with ZFS), but I did a search:
(solution #0)
If you have a bpool (as in boot pool), and I don’t see that in you inxi output, might that be the problem.
first run zpool status
look what pools you have.
then run:
zpool import -a -d /dev/disk/by-id
run zpool status again and see if you have the bpool.
then try update-grub and see if it does update your kernel list.
Thanks, I will read up on the the article you provided.
I will dig into this Monday, thank you again for your help.
The article does not say much more then I’ve told you.
Just run the few commands, nothing bad can happen.

Ok, I’m a bit lost here.
If you do zfs unmount bpool, does ls -aR boot show more?

len@len-Z390-AORUS-ULTRA:~$ sudo ls -aR /boot

Well I’m really lost on the zfs setup of ubuntu.
But you have the config-5.4.0-54-generic vmlinuz-5.4.0-54-generic
initrd.img-5.4.0-54-generic files there.
Can’t tell you why update-grub does not recognize them.
Revert the settings we made:
zfs set overlay=off canmount=off bpool
I’d ask in the ubuntu forums for help on this, sorry I can’t help you on that.
Thanks for your help, you went over and beyond on this, can see a new system install I think if Ubuntu forums areof no help, ZFS is great to use, so many features, but hard to set up and work with, thanks mate, talk next time
It looks to me there’s an ubuntu bug, re the link I posted.
The zfs on root is new, so easily possible there are still a few quirks.
