Install Arch On VM17.x

I followed the guide https://gist.github.com/miliarch/dd19af … b680728a45.

I tried more than 3 times. Everything was ok,but last step: Install GRUB

I run this command :

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi

. noticed:

Installnation finished.No error reported.

Then,I runed this command:

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

noticed:

Generating grub configuration file ... 
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-linux
Found initrd image: /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Found fallback initrd image(s) in /boot: initramfs-linux-fallback.img
Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Systems on them will not be added to the GRuB boot configuration.
Check GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Setting ...
done

the command

grub-mkconfig -o /efi/EFI/arch/grub.cfg

prints the same print.

while I write the question for help. i noticed  the

Check GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.

And I found the result on https://wiki.archlinuxcn.org/wiki/GRUB . I followed the guide

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-mkconfig -o /efi/EFI/arch/grub.cfg

doesn`t print

Check GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.

I entered

exit

and

reboot

but I can`t find the GRUB on EFI.

I don`t know how to upload picture. but it like this.

I pick the first, I show load disk... then endless black screen waiting for me.

Can you help me? Thank you.

By the way, I have snapshot before install GRUB.

Re: Install Arch On VM17.x

3rd party guides are not supported here.

Also the host OS and virtual machine software used matters .

Are you using VmWare ?
If so, use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware … as_a_guest

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
