Arch Linux doesn't boot anymore

Hi!

I have an arch linux and a Linux mint Installation in my laptop. I use both SO, but in the last weeks I used Linux mint and didn't boot into Arch for a long time. Now when I try to boot into arch I can't. Grub loads correctly, if I choose Mint it works flawless but if I choose Arch the screen freeze into the logo's trademark of my laptop and never starts the SO.

What could I do to know why Arch doesn't boot?

Thanks for your help.

Re: Arch Linux doesn't boot anymore

Can you clarify what you mean by:

Grub loads correctly, if I choose Mint it works flawless but if I choose Arch the screen freeze into the logo's trademark of my laptop and never starts the SO.

What is the "logo's trademark" and what is SO?

Anyways, you need to post basic information of your current system, including things such as:

• partition scheme (output of `lsblk`and `blkid`)

• Your current grub configuration. Which os (Mint or Arch?) you use to configure it?

• Contents of your EFI partition root.

• Contents of the partition you have your Arch Linux kernels in

There are several ways one can choose to partition a system, where to mount EFI in an UEFI system - assuming you are using UEFI and not a Legacy BIOS boot. Your computer should be using UEFI if it is even remotely modern.

There is really no way anyone can help you without these bits of information.

Guessing SO means OS (adjective following noun french style) and laptop logo could be the BIOS power-up screen as if it is rebooting.  I do not use grub so do not know if that is normal in loading an OS, but I would have thought that screen preceded grub.
