Reboot is failing

[hoary epoch]

Okay, being honest I'm getting better at installing and understanding arch instalations, but i still need your patience. I've been suffering with the same problem. After following wiki step by step and installing GRUB, I umount /mnt like it says in wiki, rebooted in terminal, and took off my pendrive. It failed (yes, the grub was installed correctly and I verified, even in pacstrap)

I entered in EFI Shell, and found grubx86.efi in FS1:\efi\EFI\GRUB\grubx86.efi.

Then, I typed grubx86.efi to initialize it, but it rebooted my pc and come back to my BIOS, where through secure boot control is off, and the device priority only shows my pendrive.

I'm pretty sure that my configs instalations are right, but what it might be the problem?

I didn't created a user, only root (maybe I misses it in wiki, but there it only sets the root password). But i think it has nothing to do with the problem, it's only a point

A good practice is to shutdown instead of rebooting and then removing the pendrive. Try doing that and let me know if it fixes the issues.

Shutdown in BIOS, removed the pendrive. And the computer printed "all boot options are tried", it has not find the system

I was on BIOS yet

Dont shutdown in BIOS. Shutdown when you're inside the installation medium and then carefully remove the pendrive.

[hoary epoch]

Ok

Entered in medium, so I'll prompt nothing, just turn it off and removing the pendrive before it turns on

[jagged terrace]

No, reinstall using the medium and then shutdown using "shutdown now" (When you exit the chroot)

So, I'll have to do everything again?

[jagged terrace]

Remove the pendrive while the pc is turned off.

[jagged terrace]

Use archinstall, it makes the process easy.

[hoary epoch]

If it goes right I'll reinstall the system later, but okay

The Rufus said if I had a issue with rebooting I should alternate GPT -> DD

Wbw it?

[jagged terrace]

Nah dont worry about it, install it as usual with archinstall.

Just make sure to shutdown the PC and remove the pendrive while the PC is turned off.

[hoary epoch]

Ok. I have to work now, but soon I'll try this and give u a return

Did you run both grub-install and grub-mkconfig?
Ref: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Installation and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Configuration

[green jewel]

Trying grub-install with --removable could be worth a try too

[hoary epoch]

ok, tks

[hoary epoch]

i'll do both

[hoary epoch]

yes, seeing this, now I see it

[cosmic zodiac]

@hoary epoch works?

[hoary epoch]

yes, I'm really happy

but now I'm struggling to config arch lol

that's is pretty complex

[cosmic zodiac]

Well don't try complicated stuff immediately, just get the system up and working

U can slowly configure it

... Solved
