Run this whenever you change your configuration

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

pastel crescent Jul 30, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

so whenever i finish my arch install

#

i just run this command?

hearty ravine Jul 30, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

This command is required for grub to work

pastel crescent Jul 30, 2023, 3:24 PM

#

ok

#

thanks so much

pastel crescent ok

If you don't like boot loaders, the UEFI system can boot EFIstubs
e.g.

# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux' package
# vi: ft=bash
# shellcheck disable=SC2034

### OPTIONS
_kernel=linux
_esp="/boot/efi"
###

_efi_dir="$_esp/efi/boot"
[[ ! -d "$_efi_dir" ]] && mkdir -p "$_efi_dir"

PRESETS=("default")
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-$_kernel"
ALL_microcode=(/boot/*-ucode.img)

default_image="/boot/initramfs-${_kernel}.img"
default_uki="$_esp/efi/boot/bootx64.efi"
default_options="--splash /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/splash-arch.bmp"
