im trying to install grub on my efi partition(sda1),
but get this error:
"attempt to install to encrypted disk without cryptodisk enabled"
however my sda1 isnt encrypted

this is my first time installing arch, and i couldnt find anything to this online all help is appreciated

is it on /mnt/boot/efi or /boot/EFI?

#

you should be targeting the ESP

#

so the base mountpoint of it

#

and if your kernels are at /boot adn that is not on the ESP, you do need the cryptodisk module

torn vigil
#

im not entirely sure if that answers it.

solemn fable
#

you have a boot mount and a efi mount?

torn vigil
#

also should i exit, reload and then install grub?

solemn fable
#

why?

solemn fable
#

what tutorial?

torn vigil
solemn fable
#

i wouldn't blindly follow that

#

do you even need lvm?

torn vigil
#

no but i couldnt really find an in depth tutorial so i kinda just went with it

#

i tried using the official wiki but ran into problems

solemn fable
#

i made that one, it should cover most of the partitioning/filesystem stuff

#

i would not make it all fancy with a separate boot and esp partition

torn vigil
#

im sorry im not sure how exactly i would do that

solemn fable
#

that guide has the kernels on an encrypted volume

#

so it requies extra setup/consideration

torn vigil
#

so i should reinstall it? and this time not with 3 but 2 partitions?
