[Solved] Unable to install Arch linux on USB / No grub efi binaries

Hello dear Archlinux users,

I use Archlinux for some months now and wanted to create a new installation on an USB-Stick (Intenso Ultra Line).
I followed the standard installation procedure, created the partitions, including an efi partition, installed the system via pacstrap, chrooted into the new system and tried to install the bootloader.
However I seem not to be able to install the bootloader correctly. I tried Syslinux and Grub2.

While I dont have a clue what went wrong with Syslinux, I have some clues for Grub.

Here is my lsblk output (sda is archlinux, sdb is win 10, sdc is the USB stick):

[myusername@archrock ~]$ lsblk -f

the fstab for /mnt :

The output of sudo parted /dev/sdc print:

 3      1612MB  15.5GB  13.9GB  ext4            Linux filesystem

Here is the bash history for the Syslinux install:

ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
pacman -S syslinux efibootmgr
mkdir -p /boot/EFI/syslinux
cp -r /usr/lib/syslinux/efi64/* /boot/EFI/syslinux/
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdc -p 1 -l /EFI/syslinux/syslinux.efi -L "Syslinux"
nano /boot/EFI/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

I copied the configuration file from the wiki and used the UUID instead.

While efibootmgr shows a bootentry I am unable to see it in my PCs bootmenu.

[root@archrock /]# efibootmgr 
BootCurrent: 0001
Timeout: 1 seconds
BootOrder: 0001,0000,0002
Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager
Boot0001* UEFI : SATA : PORT 6G 0 : SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series : PART 0 : OS Bootloader
Boot0002* Syslinux

(I deleted Syslinux and the bootentry manually before I moved to grub)
When I try to install grub it reports no errors. The complete log shows some suspicious lines, though.

Installation finished. No error reported.

There seem to be some errors with the locales, but I doubt that this is the reason for the troubles.
I dont know what the importance of the first lines is, since it later finds the /dev/sdc1 partition.

In the end it reports no errors, but the grub efi binaries are not created, neither the /boot/EFI/grub folder and no boot entry is created (efibootmgr shows no additional entries).
A /boot/EFI/BOOT folder with an efi binary exists after the installation, also a /boot/grub folder with content.

I also tried to manually create a grub standalone efi binary, configuration file and bootentry, but the bootmenu is not able to start them. They are shown but nothing happens upon selection.

Re: [Solved] Unable to install Arch linux on USB / No grub efi binaries

Does systemd-boot work?

A simple `bootctl install` should do it.

The .efi loader is copied to the removable loader loaction that should boot without an NVRAM entry.

You will have to make a configuration file of course but it is fairly simple:

Erm, no, sorry.

Do we consider this problem to be [SOLVED]?

Okay thanks. I may try to figure it out on a later installation, but for now I marked it as solved.
