What am I doing wrong here?
Could that be the USB drive is not UEFI bootable? Can you try to prepare the USB drive again with the instructions from this article: Creating a Bootable Ubuntu UEFI USB Drive
]]>Well,,, changing that did not work...
]]>That doesn't change the fact that the stick is MBR, who knows if that will work without a default loader; or at all, really.
]]>/dev/some_drive_with_ext4_format : /mnt
/dev/usb_stick_with_fat32_format : /mnt/boot
I am just trying to boot the system from the USB.
I formatted the USB stick as FAT32, which is said to be the requirement for the EFISTUB in the wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_b … oot_loader).
]]>Personally, I would use something like systemd-boot or refind in the default loader location on USB.
]]># efibootmgr --disk /dev/sde --part 1 --create --label "Arch Linux" --loader /vmlinuz-linux --unicode 'root=PARTUUID=F9DB-7326 rw initrd=\initramfs-linux.img' --verbose
And, my system is not picking up anything from what I did. It acts as if there is nothing in the USB drive. My efibootmgr output is like the following
