#Got Thrown into GNU GRUB after rebooting instead of Arch

so I configured Arch and installed it by following the Wiki, then exited, umounted and rebooted and got thrown into GNU GRUB instead

I tried to find a solution via googling but didn't find something that helped me

since I can enter commands I used ls to see if something happened to my efi partition but it seems fine, there is also the file bootx64.efi in (hd0,gpt1)/efi/boot

How do I get my system to boot into Arch? (did I miss something?)

you forgot to generate a GRUB config

#

you'll need to go back into the ISO and chroot back in

# pulsar salmon how do I do that?
  1. Boot the ISO
  2. Mount your root partition to /mnt/
  3. Mount your boot partition to /mnt/boot/ (this must be done after you mount root)
  4. Run arch-chroot /mnt/
  5. Run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  6. Exit the chroot
  7. Unmount drives
  8. Reboot

If you need explanations or have issues, feel free to ping me.

I think @solid galleon is also okay with being pinged. Is that okay with you @solid galleon?

solid galleon
#

yeah

pulsar salmon
#

@solid galleon I think I have an issue

#

I managed to chroot back in but when I do ls it states that there are a lot of folders in there including one called boot, my problem is when I do ls /boot/ it spits out the exact same thing so I have to do ls /boot/boot and then there is a grub folder in there, does that mean I have two folders filled with the same stuff?

#

Just seems wrong to me

solid galleon
#

you probably mounted the root partition there first by accident

#

also, it looks like you mounted the EFI partition at /efi, not /boot

pulsar salmon
#

Huh

#

Maybe I should just do a clean install then?

solid galleon
#

You should be able to fix it in like two commands, it's fine

pulsar salmon
#

Question is which commands

solid galleon
#

Exit out of chroot, run umount -R /mnt, mount your root partition to /mnt, and mount your EFI partition to /mnt/efi

pulsar salmon
#

Yes now it seems fine

#

Thanks a lot so far btw
