[RESOLVED] swapping arch system to ssd

[hollow hound]

instead of reboot

[neat dagger]

what do u mean

[hollow hound]

like

boot /dev/sdb2

type thing

[neat dagger]

nope

[hollow hound]

okay

i'm delusional XD

[neat dagger]

there is no way to do that

[hollow hound]

let me reboot

[neat dagger]

cause the boot option is handled by the UEFI firmware, not linux

[hollow hound]

i got grub cli

😭🙏

[neat dagger]

type exit and hit enter

[hollow hound]

reboot and select proper boot device

[neat dagger]

hmm i think ur grub its just entering command line mode by default for no reason

let me search for the option to make it enter the menu by default

[hollow hound]

do u think i should use systemd-boot instead

[neat dagger]

but i think it is not broken

[hollow hound]

also i can still boot from cli right?

[neat dagger]

did it show grub > or grub-rescue >

[hollow hound]

mope

nope*

[neat dagger]

yep but its more comfortable from the menu

[neat dagger]

grub or grub-rescue

[hollow hound]

i don’t see either

[neat dagger]

there u have it

grub>

not grub-rescue>

so it is not broken

it just dont open the menu for some reason

u can boot from the command line

[hollow hound]

ahh

[neat dagger]

but its so uncomfortable

let me do some research

[hollow hound]

okay man

[neat dagger]

try executing normal on the grub cli

[hollow hound]

sec

nothing happens

it clears the chat and kind of refreshes the screen

[neat dagger]

hmmm honestly this is quite weird cause grub should load ur grub.cfg as normal

[hollow hound]

chatgpt told me to do this

what do u think

[neat dagger]

nope

i think maybe grub isnt loading the menu cause i didnt told u to set the root

wait a sec

[hollow hound]

you told me

I did set root

is it me or are you listening to the same song on repeat

i saw you listening to it like an hour or two ago

[neat dagger]

Im so fucking focused that i forgot to change it lol

[hollow hound]

xDD

[neat dagger]

ye i changed it lol

set default=0
set timeout=10
set root=(hd2,gpt1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 860D-1C79

menuentry "Arch Linux (Mainline Linux kernel)" {
    linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=8a05f522-e550-4ce2-bd8a-2d0843aac626 rw
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img /intel-ucode.img
    echo "Booting up mainline Linux kernel..."
}

copy this inside ur grub.cfg

remove the last version

u there?

[neat dagger]

well have to go for now @hollow hound , if copying this exact embeded into ur grub.cfg does not work ping me

anyways ur main issue is solved

[hollow hound]

hi bro sorry i was in bed

ill try in a bit

thanks a lot for today

i owe u one fr

[neat dagger]

If this does not work try including the search command inside the menuentry block

[neat dagger]

See if what i sent u work in first place, if not try to do this

Tell me if it went good or not whenever u can

[hollow hound]

im gonna try rn

menuentry "Arch Linux (Mainline Linux kernel)

inside of uh

the { ?

cause it didnt work

@neat dagger

[neat dagger]

ye put that before linux command

[hollow hound]

yeah

did both

didnt work

i turned off my PC for now

[neat dagger]

set default=0
set timeout=10
set prefix=(hd2,gpt1)/grub
set root=(hd2,gpt1)

menuentry "Arch Linux (Mainline Linux kernel)" {
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 860D-1C79
    linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=8a05f522-e550-4ce2-bd8a-2d0843aac626 rw
    initrd /initramfs-linux.img /intel-ucode.img
    echo "Booting up mainline Linux kernel..."
}

u could also try this one

if this does not work honestly i think is some weird bug related to dual booting or grub itself

also, if the config file does not work and grub does not start in menu mode automatically, try executing normal once or twice

[neat dagger]

anyways ur main issue is solved so

ah u already marked it as solved

good

[hollow hound]

hey

good morning

[hollow hound]

I tried and didn't work

I also generated a new grub.cfg

[neat dagger]

Good, u can use the generated cfg and it should work, anyways check ur template files in the root fs cause i think grub is generating some config with a different root from the real one

I think grub mkconfig is doing this cause u moved ur disk

But the template remains for the old disk

[hollow hound]

I meant that

I even tried the generated cfg

Didn't work

[hollow hound]

This one elimnated the menu of the cli and just said "Reboot into a bootable device"

should I make a new thread for this

[neat dagger]

Maybe, i created a file by my own that works well

Ill pass it later

[hollow hound]

okayy

@neat dagger I made a new thread #1243904041055158305

[neat dagger]

Good
