Just ignore it or update the BIOS to see if that would fix it.

[slim pilot]

[worldly prawn]

You can just press Ctrl+C to stop it. It wouldn’t show up if you were using a desktop environment.

[slim pilot]

ctrl+c does nothing

[worldly prawn]

[slim pilot]

... chroot

#18415 📣 1. Boot your PC into the ISO
2. Run:
lsblk -fs
-# this should show the available drives, partitions, their size and the FS on them. Use this to figure out what drive/partition your / is located on.
3. Run:
mount /dev/root_drive /mnt
-# replace /dev/root_drive with the path to your root partition you identified in step 2.
4. Run:
arch-chroot /mnt
-# this will let you puppeteer your system without actually booting it.
5. Run:
mount -a
-# this will try to mount everything configured in your systems fstab.

[slim pilot]

ok done

[worldly prawn]

Are you in the chroot?

[slim pilot]

yes

[worldly prawn]

Output of lsblk -f?

[worldly prawn]

Run mount -a and show the output of lsblk -f again.

[slim pilot]

its the same bc i already mounted

[worldly prawn]

No, it should not be the same.

[slim pilot]

o

thats weird bc it looks the same

[worldly prawn]

Share the output of lsblk -f

[worldly prawn]

Is your system UEFI?

[slim pilot]

yeah

how can i check just in case

[worldly prawn]

So why is there no /boot partition mounted?

[slim pilot]

oh, i didnt choose the uefi option when booting ventoy

[worldly prawn]

ls -alh /sys/firmware/efi/

[worldly prawn]

No, that is not it.

[slim pilot]

o

[worldly prawn]

How about ls -alh /sys/firmware/?

[worldly prawn]

Or run [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "UEFI" || echo "BIOS"

[slim pilot]

it says bios

ig i am in bios mode

[worldly prawn]

So the system is not UEFI.

[slim pilot]

ig not

what do i do from here

[worldly prawn]

It's related to the other issue.

[worldly prawn]

Output of ls -alh /boot/

[worldly prawn]

Okay, run pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers linux-headers and after that run mkinitcpio -P and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[slim pilot]

k

i need to connect to internet

[worldly prawn]

Yeah.

[slim pilot]

k done

[worldly prawn]

No, show the output of grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

[worldly prawn]

Output of cat /etc/fstab?

[worldly prawn]

Okay, exit and reboot.

[slim pilot]
