I just decided to take the step of getting rid of windows on my desktop
Installed Arch as i already did several time, it went well.
But after the installation, my computer refuses to boot on it.
I'm using grub, the mkconfig command succeeded, but when I go back to arch via the installation medium everything seems to be in order.
But nothing when rebooting without a key.
I'm on an MSI H310M PRO-M2 PLUS motherboard, that works in UEFI
Tried to go back to the installation medium, mounting back my partitions to re-create a grub.cfg but no

can you check your EFI bootloader entries?

In the UEFI or by going back to the installation medium ?
vernal tendon
by going back into the install CD
you'll have to go there to fix it anyways in most cases
also make sure you have Secure Boot disabled
that could also fuck up even the bootloader loading
(unless Arch is using Canonical's signed GRUB)

I don't think you have a valid EFI bootloader entry
let me dig around
yeah you have to do something like this
efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --loader '\EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi' --label 'rEFInd Boot Manager' --unicode
adjust your settings to the right ones for your system
then reboot
also you might want to swap around the boot order
.aw uefi

4.3.1 details it pretty well

_btw i can't even find the secure boot options in my uefi, wtf is this_
hope this help you

Do i have to mount back my partitions ?

Do i have to mount back my partitions ?
I don't think so unless you want to verify the path to your GRUB bootloader binary
and this isn't Gentoo, so there's a low chance of you somehow managing to install a GRUB that isn't EFI-capable

In this command :
cold muralefibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --loader '\EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi' --label 'rEFInd Boot Manager' --unicode
I know that well, /dev/sda becomes /dev/nvme0n1
But what about the \EFI\ etc ?
vernal tendon
In this command :
```bash
efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --loader ...
if you want to convert a Linux path to a UEFI path I think \EFI corresponds to /boot/efi or wherever you mounted your EFI system partition

I'm in the zsh right when we launch the installation, not chrooted

do NOT append any /mnts or anything to the loader variable

I haven't launched any command rn
