[CLOSED] Systemd-boot xbootldr does not work properly

Hello,

I'm trying the systemd boot loader.

But when I start the computer, systemd boot see the entrie "ESP Arch Linux" (this entrie is on the /efi partition), but not the entrie on the xbootdr partition call Arch Linux.

I've installed it following the wiki :

bootctl --esp-path=/efi --boot-path=/boot install

And all partition /efi and /boot are formated in FAT32.

And the type of /boot partition is set to bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172 (ea00 XBOOTLDR partition).

My configuration :

nvme0n1
├─nvme0n1p1       /efi
├─nvme0n1p2       /boot

find /efi

Re: [CLOSED] Systemd-boot xbootldr does not work properly

Is fast boot disabled in your system firmware settings?
