GRUB doesn't detect Arch Linux and loads GRUB command line

Today I reinstalled Arch Linux on my laptop, and while the installation went well, when I turn on the computer, GRUB gives me the command line instead of a boot list containing Arch Linux. I can load Arch Linux from the command line, but it is a hassle, and I would rather have the list that I can easily boot from. I have already tried re-running grub-mkconfig and grub-install, which didn't do anything. One other thing I noticed is that when I run grub-mkconfig, it doesn't print anything aside from "generating grub configuration file .." and "done" when it finishes.

What exactly did you type? You probably wanted `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`, Without specifying the output you won't end up generating a config file

I typed "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
