22.11 to unstable (flake) systemd-boot update isues

Hi, and thanks for looking in - I had no clue what topic to try!

I’m moving my laptop from 22.11 to unstable after successfully moving my desktop (with very few issues).

I get the following error:
‘’’

(apologies if the markdown is wrong - my first try!)

From an eyeball perspective, the config looks like my desktop, so I’m not sure where to look for the error. I was hoping this was the “easy part” of my next steps. So any hints appreciated!

can you run bootctl and post the output

also check if you /boot partition is out of space.

/boot is 1% used, so plenty of room!
