raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 5:52 PM

#

mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /boot

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 5:52 PM

Ima delete them with fdisk

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 5:57 PM

#

yeah, how did u even create them

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 5:57 PM

#

raven meteor yeah, how did u even create them

No idea. Maybe it was just there before

#

Bc I saw it with the Ai as well

#

Oops

#

How do you exit out of fdisk again?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

w to save

#

q to exit

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

Ok whew

#

Almost deleted partition 1

#

How would you be able to delete them? They aren't under a file like sda or mmcblk0 so you can't enter into it

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

could probabl jyust unlink them by they dev block name

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:04 PM

#

How?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:06 PM

#

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:08 PM

yea sec

#

need to see more of the errors

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

Alr

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:20 PM

#

there is a copy of the kernel in some modules folder

#

try this

#

wait, make sure your boot is mounted first

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:21 PM

#

How to check that

#

Bc I thought lsblk was to check that

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:22 PM

#

outside of chroot there are more convenient commands but checking if its a mountpoint rn is pefcetly valid

#

mountpoint /boot

#

if it's a mountpoiint its good

#

so if its a mountpoint, run this cp /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-linux

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

calm egret Bc I thought lsblk was to check that

yeah

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

raven meteor so if its a mountpoint, run this `cp /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz /boot/...

Wokref

#

Worked

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:30 PM

#

nice.

#

i keep feeling doubtful about your fstab with labels

#

idk, we'll see

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:31 PM

#

Hopefully

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:34 PM

#

i guess thats it then?

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

Ok then boot time

#

Right?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:35 PM

#

do you have efibootmgr installed=

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

I don't think it worked last time

#

We tried installing it with pacman right?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:36 PM

#

cant remember

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

Let's try installing it rn

#

If It doesn't work at least we still have grub

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:37 PM

#

was thinking if you had it to delete old partition entries, no stress

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

Btw mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p0 are still there I think

#

SORRY I MEAN

#

mmcblk0boot0

#

Mmcblk0boot1

#

Anyways am I safe to reboot?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:41 PM

#

calm egret Anyways am I safe to reboot?

yeah

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

It booted me back into grub

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

damn!

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

Maybe I should make it so 'arch' is the first to boog

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

i forgot,

#

did you regen grub config after mkinitcpio?

#

gonna reboot too. my sound is broken :s

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:43 PM

#

raven meteor did you regen grub config after mkinitcpio?

No idea what that is but I gues no?

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:46 PM

#

calm egret No idea what that is but I gues no?

grub doesnt automatically pickup new available boot options but only when you regen its config

#

sorry man, i keep forgetting you dont know much about linux

raven meteor grub doesnt automatically pickup new available boot options but only when you re...

Ohh ok

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:47 PM

#

raven meteor grub doesnt automatically pickup new available boot options but only when you re...

Probably not

#

Does that mean we have to do all of that again 😭

raven meteor Jan 5, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

only 1 more chroot

#

1 command

#

and reboot

calm egret Jan 5, 2025, 6:51 PM

look i gotta run for a few

when you got the kernel sorted its only the initramfs-linux.img left for the gruub part
initrd (hd1,3)/where/ever/itis.img

boot

when you got the kernel sorted its only the initramfs-linux.img left for the gruub part
`initrd (hd1,3)/where/ever/itis.img

When you are in rootfs, start with making the new root fs

mkdir /mnt
immiedetely mount your root
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1

then the systems functionality
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs /sys /mnt/sys/
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev/
mount -o bind /run /mnt/run/

mount -o bind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars /mnt/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/

and then chroot it
chroot /mnt /bin/bash

once in chroot, generate your grub-mkconfig with
stop! dont forget to mount your boot partition
mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /boot before you do the grub-mkconfig

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

you have kernel/initrd in your root/boot folder

raven meteor Jan 6, 2025, 6:56 PM

you see them here

#

since your root keeps changing its either these commands to boot:

linux (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-linux rw root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initramfs-linux.img
boot

#

if that dont work, change (hd0,1) to

(hd1,1)

Yes it is

jagged ridge Jan 7, 2025, 1:30 AM

I hope you know where to go (https://archlinux.org/)

calm egret Jan 7, 2025, 2:05 AM

Yep, should I install Rufus or should I just use dd?

jagged ridge Jan 7, 2025, 2:06 AM

Rufus is windows-only.

calm egret Jan 7, 2025, 2:06 AM

I'm assuming bitorrent is as well?

jagged ridge Jan 7, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

calm egret I'm assuming bitorrent is as well?

No. You can use that if you want.

#

Otherwise do an http download

calm egret Jan 7, 2025, 2:07 AM

Also when we run the new iso are we using archinstall or are we going the harder path?

jagged ridge Jan 7, 2025, 2:15 AM

depends, I would recommend a manual install bui iiirc your origional problem was caused by running commands before running archinstal

calm egret Jan 7, 2025, 2:16 AM

Manual install it is then

Ok done
