/boot on a separate partition?
FWIW, we don't use a separate partition and haven't had any issues (we do set up / as a separate partition only 5GB large). We have over 150 systems that have been chugging along with many versions of CentOS this way for years. We only use ext3,4 filesystems though. And no volume manager.

If you are initially booting in (U)EFI mode (into rEFInd, or some EFI shell or any other EFI boot loader or EFI boot manager), then generally speaking you are expected to boot in EFI mode. But some (U)EFI firmware _might_ be able to

Is chain loading EFI apps not supported?
Greetings! If I understand everything correctly, the last release of syslinux supports UEFI, but it can't load another EFI application in this mode, so practically only linux kernel can be bootloaded. Unfortunately, I have a need to dualboot windows and linux with UEFI, and this holds me back from using this amazing piece of software. Have there since been any progress regarding this

8.2.2004 Quick recovery and fix for unbootable machines
This is a quick recovery and fix for the machines rendered unbootable after the grub2/shim yum update. It is written for CentOS 8.2.2004 but similar should work for any CentOS 8 or 7 as long as you get the correct shim file, that is, the one from the latest installation media. I am running on an x86_64 architecture (see uname -i). Please use the correct shim file for your architecture

How the hell does it know that it is "Syslinux" ? The same file content does not cause that name if it is presented under the default name. Does EFI just guess

/boot as a btrfs subvolume
As of the latest updates to anaconda and grub2 for Fedora 18, it is now possible to install with /boot as a btrfs subvolume. The way that grub2 is handling this is the "reach down" to the files it needs as if the subvolume was a directory. Is this OK? At this point I am not worried about snapshots or any other complexities. If the subvolume name is known. should grub2 be able to
