Hello! I was wondering if we could get some help. We did an update on our endeavourOS laptop and restarted but now instead of fully booting up it just boots into hps startup menu

twin patrol Hello! I was wondering if we could get some help. We did an update on our endeav...

wdym by "hps startup menu" exacly?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:45 PM

#

my laptop is hp so when i tried to boot it up it just boots into that instead (one sec will get a pic)

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

okay. whats inside the menu?

#

what boot options do you have

twin patrol Oct 14, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

this

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

this

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:46 PM

#

f9 boot menu

#

whats inside

#

f9 boot menu

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

jsut the uefi linux boot manager and then the efi hard drive and boot from efi file

#

iirc tried all three and they all just brought me back to the stratup

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:48 PM

#

alright so the efi boot entry is fucked

#

umm

#

do you have a usb that you can flash archiso onto

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:49 PM

#

yea i have a ventoy drive that has the iso for it on there

#

tho its endeavour so idrk if that would make much a difference

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:50 PM

#

it doesnt

#

if you didnt change your bootloader with endeeavour

#

it should be systemd

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:50 PM

#

it is ye

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:50 PM

#

id say go there and try to manually rebuild the bootloader

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:50 PM

#

oh boy guess we're doin new stuff today ^^"

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

so

#

basically just try and reinstall the bootloader

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:51 PM

#

ohh ok

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:52 PM

#

uhh actually

#

@twin patrol

#

just to confirm

#

you dont have secure boot right?

#

@twin patrol try doing
bootctl update

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

we dont no

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

alright alright

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

apparently we dont have an efi system partition

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:54 PM

#

wait uhh

#

you need to arch-chroot

#

with both efi and root mounted

#

and do the command inside chroot

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:57 PM

#

uhhh so thats be? sudo arch-chroot bootctl udpate?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

no

#

so first

#

mount both partitions in appropriate location

#

to see where your efi is normally mounted, check fstab

#

and then
arch-chroot <root mount point>

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 8:59 PM

#

ohh

#

apparently we dont have fstab ig?

#

or at least it cant be found

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:00 PM

#

its not a command

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:00 PM

#

OH

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:00 PM

#

mount your root first

#

and then check /<root mount point>/etc/fstab

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

wouldnt root just be /root?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:01 PM

#

no so

#

usually you would mount root under /mnt

#

have you done a manual arch install before?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:02 PM

#

i have not so far the only arch thing we've ever done was with endeavour

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:02 PM

#

alright thats okay

#

ill just walk you through it

#

so first

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

thank you so much ^^"

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

np :3

#

lsblk

#

to check which partition do you have your root in

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

i assume root is airootfs??

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:03 PM

#

huh

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:04 PM

#

/run/archiso/airootfs

#

outside of that we dont see anything at all even mentioning root

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:06 PM

#

raw hinge /run/archiso/airootfs

nono

#

not that

#

can you give me the output of
lsblk

#

root refers to the main filesystem of your endeavour os install

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

ohhh

#

uhhh yea one sec lemme try to get a pic

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

and right now we are checking which disk and partition do you have the fileesystem on

#

so that we can mount it

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

alr looks like its nvme0n1p2

#

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

got it

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

this would mount or make the filesystem accessible under /mnt

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

ah

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

you got it?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

yup! got root mounted

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

now

#

lets check fstab to see where we are supposeed to mount efi

#

cat /mnt/etc/fstab

#

show outout?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:13 PM

#

i dont see outout no

#

i do see one that is /efi tho?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

raw hinge i dont see outout no

dont see output?

#

file not found?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

i do not

#

uhhh lemme get a pic of what we have

#

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

okay yeah

#

/efi is the one we are looking for

#

now

#

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/efi

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

ohh ok

#

done

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

now

#

sudo arch-chroot /mnt

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:18 PM

#

done

#

i assume we'll do bootctl update next?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

yeah

#

bootctl update

#

see if it works

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

ah kk

#

i think it worked?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

show output?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:23 PM

#

wait

#

not booted with efi?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

wdym?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

okay im not sure if ventroy works for this but

#

you might have to flash it directly

#

just maybe

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:24 PM

#

oh?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:25 PM

#

i might be wrong though

#

did you use legacy boot option to launch ventroy?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:26 PM

#

i dont think so? we just booted into the thumbdrive then selected the iso

#

we usually dont fuck with legacy stuff

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

what does

ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

#

give you

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:27 PM

#

a fuck ton of stuff ^^"

#

i assume its all of hte firmware and stuff

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

raw hinge a fuck ton of stuff ^^"

then it should work????

#

WAIT

#

wait

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

acutally no thats normal i think'

#

because we are inside chroot

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:29 PM

#

ah

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

eexit

#

and do ```
sudo arch-chroot -S /mnt

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

exit the terminal then do it?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

no

#

just type exit

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

ohh ok

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:30 PM

#

and use that command

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

gave an error for -S

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:31 PM

#

what error?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:32 PM

#

errorL arch-chrootL invalid option -- 'S'

#

error: *

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

what

#

that doesnt make any seense

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

maybe it was supposed to be --S?

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

raw hinge maybe it was supposed to be --S?

no its not

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

ah

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:33 PM

#

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:34 PM

#

weird

#

hopefully we can figure it out cuase we have to get to work soon ^^"

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:45 PM

#

okay uhh

#

are you sure you didnt type the command wrong?

#

because -S should wrok

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

positive

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

it worked?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:46 PM

#

nope

nova wedge Oct 14, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

man arch-chroot yourself?

raw hingeBOT Oct 14, 2025, 9:48 PM

#

done it

#

not sure what it did tho

#

but sadly we ahve to get to work. so ig ehres hoping it saves where we are on it-

nova wedge Oct 15, 2025, 12:46 PM

#

@twin patrol

#

do you mind flashing archiso onto your usb stick instead?

#

if you dont have another pc, you can do that directly from the endeavour live usb system

raw hingeBOT Oct 15, 2025, 1:53 PM

#

Yeaaa we did but still didnt work?

#

We ended up just saying fuck it and did a fresh install (which we were half considering before it conked out on us anyways but)

nova wedge Oct 15, 2025, 3:18 PM

#

awe thats a shame but

#

its resolved

#

so

#

... solved

#

.note solved
