[Fixed My Issue/Error] mount: /new_root: can't read superblock on /dev/sda2.

[sacred tiger]

Idk I didn't make the name

He doesn't even really use it in his videos

[brisk trench]

Hey

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/microcode

What should I do with this

@sacred tiger

I have Intel processor

[sacred tiger]

do sudo pacman -S intel-ucode

and then mkinitcpio -p linux

[brisk trench]

Pentium i3 some gen

[sacred tiger]

install intel ucode

also remake the grub config

if you installed grub

[brisk trench]

After this

[sacred tiger]

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

if you have grub

and that should be it

[brisk trench]

Yup with different name

Okhh

I will back

Once I done installation

[sacred tiger]

different name?

it should still be /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[brisk trench]

instead of grub.conf mirza.conf

[sacred tiger]

what

no?

[brisk trench]

If not then?

[sacred tiger]

where did you read that

[brisk trench]

On arch

[sacred tiger]

wait

send link

[brisk trench]

I thought I can name as I want

[sacred tiger]

you shouldn't be able to cuz then the bootloader wouldn't know what file to look for and where

[brisk trench]

The first one

Don't it's not opening at my side right now

[sacred tiger]

you can remove your other config

[brisk trench]

Got stuck at loading

[sacred tiger]

👍

[brisk trench]

Okay

This will be my grub config file right?

[brisk trench]

?

[sacred tiger]

no

that video isn't doing grub

it's doing systemd-boot which is UEFI only

you only need 3 steps to do grub

pacman -S grub

grub-install /dev/sda

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

[brisk trench]

I asked that can me my config file?

[sacred tiger]

and you are done

no

that is a systemd-boot config

use the grub-mkconfig command

and you are done

[brisk trench]

So should I rm that?

[sacred tiger]

send me the contents of your boot directory

[brisk trench]

Just now I copied the grub into that dir

[sacred tiger]

no

Literally do nothing else

[sacred tiger]

other than the mkconfig command

nothing else

omg

Litearlly 3 commands

[brisk trench]

Should I rm this??

[sacred tiger]

yes

[brisk trench]

Whole dir em?

[sacred tiger]

Your boot directory should look like this

but without the EFI folder

and with intel-ucode instead of amd-ucode

basically the only folder under /boot should be the grub one

[brisk trench]

This /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf ?

[sacred tiger]

omg

stop

following

the video

it uses systemd-boot

remove the /boot/loader folder

and ls the contents of /boot

and send a screenshot

[sacred tiger]

sudo rm -rf /boot/loader

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

and nothing else

you are done

continue following the wiki after this

not the video

the rest of it is setting up nvidia drivers

actually you may need to download NetworkManager if you haven't already

for wifi

[brisk trench]

Done that network management

Next what

[sacred tiger]

have you setup a root password and user?

and user password

[brisk trench]

Yup

Done

[sacred tiger]

ok

you also have the bootloader

so I think you are done

try exit and then reboot

and remove the usb cuz it may boot you into the arch usb again

[brisk trench]

What's my windows env?

[sacred tiger]

none

[brisk trench]

Then?

[sacred tiger]

you can set that up after you make sure you can use the terminal and internet without the usb

[sacred tiger]

the terminal

[brisk trench]

Ohkk there by I can follow hyprland

[sacred tiger]

if arch boots and the internet also works you can use pacman -S <window-manager/desktop-environment>

yeah

reboot first though

if the internet doesn't work but arch boots you'll need to put back the usb, boot into it and remount the partitions (WITHOUT formatting them again of course)

and then arch-chroot back into /mnt

then you can troubleshoot to fix your network

[brisk trench]

Should I umount before reboot

[sacred tiger]

no need to

just type reboot

after you use exit in chroot

[brisk trench]

Remove usb now?

[sacred tiger]

do it when you see your laptop completely shuts off

or you see the manufacturer screen

[brisk trench]

Done

Blinking dash -

[sacred tiger]

wait

[sacred tiger]

if nothing happens in 30 seconds you've messed something up

[brisk trench]

I removed usb when my screen went blank

[sacred tiger]

did you do it before arch finished shutting down

[brisk trench]

That get shutdown

When it was reopening i did

[sacred tiger]

I am not sure what you did but try holding your power button

and restart it

make sure the usb isn't on

when you reboot

[brisk trench]

Can I shutdown and start up again??

[sacred tiger]

yes

hold the power button

cuz you are stuck rn

[brisk trench]

Suckk

Got that blink again

--

[sacred tiger]

well shi

shit

[sacred tiger]

send a screenshot

rq

[sacred tiger]

uh ok

[brisk trench]

One blinking bash

[sacred tiger]

put the usb back in

[sacred tiger]

shut down

and boot back into the usb

then mount your partitions like how you did last time

(WITHOUT going into fdisk and formatting them)

[brisk trench]

What?

[sacred tiger]

mount the partitions

step 1.11 of the arch wiki

skip to there

do not remake the boot folder again though obviously

cuz it already exists

[brisk trench]

Suck it's not booting into arch

2 min

[sacred tiger]

you did not boot into the usb

press the boot options key

it may be esc

F12

F11

while you are in the bios

so you need to restart again basically

[brisk trench]

I did bro

[sacred tiger]

and you selected the usb?

[brisk trench]

It's not booting in arch getting that old error msg

[sacred tiger]

what old error

[sacred tiger]

boot arch linux from iso

[brisk trench]

It's getting off

[sacred tiger]

[brisk trench]

Getting turn off after this

[sacred tiger]

idk man

this is too confusing even for me

make a new thread or something and wait for someone more experienced to help

[brisk trench]

Should I leave on this screen for some time

?

[sacred tiger]

idk

I have no idea
