Here is the error after grub tab:
Thumbnails only -- Follow image posting rules --- Inxsible

This are my partitions and uuid:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Sep 11 12:39 124dca57-5a6e-483b-8563-0d1f7b03b12c -> ../../sda3

sda1 - boot(100MB), sda2 - swap, sda3 (/, ext4), sda4(ext4 - data storage...)

I installed archlinux for second time - first time I just partitioned it using cfdisk(so propably mbr and grub doesnt delete properly.
System couldnt start and showed that partition with uuid xxx is not there.

I connected that disk to usb of another computes and here is uuid of boot partition, with everything what is on it:

rado3105, follow the rules of the forum. You have been here long enough to know the rules.

Ok sorry.
The problem was that I didnt know that syslinux is alternative to grub. So I installed syslinux and also grub. Thanks

Arch Linux
