Looks like some kind of bug, because when i tried to install Ubuntu a few month ago, i had one SSD in boot menu as should be.

Those EFI boot entries are essentially the same:
What's the right boot order for shim.efi and shimx64.efi files?

You can safely ignore the duplicate, it is for backward compatibility:
Tree - rpms/shim - src.fedoraproject.org

So this is ok too for Fedora?

nvme-YMTC_PC300-1TB-B_YMA21T0JA23423068Y → ../../nvme0n1
nvme-YMTC_PC300-1TB-B_YMA21T0JA23423068Y_1 → ../../nvme0n1

You are confusing:

  • The EFI boot entries detected by the PC firmware when Linux is not even booted yet, see the command I mentioned above.
  • The disk IDs listed by the running Linux kernel, but this is unrelated to the EFI bootloader.

To be clear, your output looks correct.

I understand, but anyway it looks strange. Also there were not such behavior with ubuntu.

Thanks for your reply.
