I attached a photograph of the boot.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem
very informative to me.

My partition layout is like to:

Device       Start       End   Sectors   Size Type
/dev/sda1     2048   1026047   1024000   500M EFI System
/dev/sda2  1026048   2050047   1024000   500M Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3  2050048 976773134 974723087 464.8G Linux filesystem

/dev/sda2 -> /boot
/dev/sda2 -> /boot/efi
/dev/sda3 -> /

Thanks for your efforts!

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen
