#

did you turn it into an slave mount
cus otherwise it wouldnt be unmountable

#

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/path/to/your/esp

#

then grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

#

your efi partition's mountpoint

#

esp
efi system partition

#

when you rbind
if you create a file from the host
it will also show in the bind vice versa
but if you turn the bind into a slave mount
you creating a file on the host will still show in the bind
but creating a file on the bind wont show on the host

#

depends

#

sure
but where is it mounted

#

cat /etc/fstab | grep vfat

#

ok
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /boot/efi

mortal mantle
#

| pipes the output to grep
which in turn finds the line with vfat

#

you arent

#

yeah
you have to 💀

#

if you're chrooted can you just reinstall your kernel?

#

ohhh, fun, never seen that before

#

probably a good idea, but I'll search first

#

wife's gonna kill me, it's 3am and I'm not in bed xD

#

do you use nvidia?

#

ahh doesn't matter, didn't read issue properly

#

meh, I say chroot in and try reinstalling your kernel and your drivers

#

iObz might have better information?

#

as someone who does that a lot, let me say, don't hold yourself to it, it will be fixable still in the morning

#

only other thing I can think is there is still some mis match, like UEFI BIOS mode related

mortal mantle
#

oh oh god
not this empty
the only fix to this that ik is redeploying the kernel and initrd
pacman -S linux
or reformatting the esp and redoing all of it

tired vortex
mortal mantle
#

which in this case is the kernel

tired vortex
#

@hardy lark what filesystem are you using for root?
Ext4? Btrfs? Zfs? Something else?
lsblk -f or fdisk -l might tel you if you’re unsure.

And what was your mount command for chrooting?

mortal mantle
#

did you connect in the iso?

#

also when chrooting
you must also copy /etc/resolv.conf to /mnt/etc/resolv.conf to configure the dns server of the chroot dir

mortal mantle
#

have you connected to the internet

#

cus you still need to connect

then you copy /etc/resolv.conf

#

oh ethernet

#

hmm

#

can you ping 8.8.8.8 outside chroot?
