Hi,
Im trying to install arch on very old laptop Acer Aspire ES15.
Problem is that it stuck on the grub installation:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB
Laptop is completely stuck, no reaction.
I tried execute grub-install with --verbose option, and it shows that efibootmgr is the problem:
grub-install: info: executing modprobe -q efivars
grub-install: info: executing efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -w -L GRUB -l \EFI\GRUB\grubx64.efi
Again executing command after reboot and chroot:
efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --write-signature --loader /EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi --label "GRUB" --verbose
Verbose mode does not give me any result, laptop does not react on anything.
EDIT
Ok i found that adding --no-nvram makes installation successful but no efi entry is added to MB.
It is ok, but how can I add efi entry if efibootmgr --create stuck?
EDIT2
Ok guys i found: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFISTUB#bcfg Here is the way of how can i add efi entry from UEFI shell level without using efibootmgr.
Problem is solved now.
