Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot

nvme0n1p1 is gonna be too small to serve as boot partition - you can install grubx64.efi there but not use it as /boot partition

sudo umount /boot
sudo mkdir /boot/esp # this path is a random choice
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot/esp
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/esp --bootloader-id=GRUB
sudo pacman -S linux-lts
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
efibootmgr

Next to commenting UUID=3D7A-BABD you also need to remove the double entries in the fstab (see #15)

efibootmgr

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /boot

\o/
The LTS kernel boots as well?

How big is the partition? You could easily attach it to the swap space or use it as (small) shared fat32 space between linux and windows.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

A coffee for you :-)

Got me one, but let's be real: I've a massive caffeine problem anyway

Yes, the LTS Kernel is ok.

Unfortunately, my mistake. I realized that in the UEFI system, GRUB had to be installed  on a separate UEFI partition, different from the Windows partition.

Coffee is good for the heart, perhaps :-)
