Boot rescue after first install

Hi all,

i've installed arch on my laptop but i've a broblem after the first boot...

This is my system configuration: SSD+GPT+BIOS(not UEFI)

I've follow the beginne's guide...

I've created the GPT partition table with gdisk with 'o'.
I've aligned the disk at 6144 (best for my Samsung 840 evo).
I've created the first partition of 2MB with code ef02 for boot, 2nd partition 225GB for / (root) and 3rd partition for swap.
I've closed gdisk with 'w' for write the scheme, this output no errors...

I've installed the system and configured them but when i install the grub2 this output me this error:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yagajwmycl1ax … 4.jpg?dl=0

What's wrong i do?

Thanks all and sorry for my english ;-)

PS: This is not the 1st time i've installed arch linux...

what command did you run, do you have llvm installed??

Re: Boot rescue after first install

Thank you for reply!

I've installed again the system to start! :-(

At this time, for installing the grub, i've used this command:

#grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /mnt/sdc

This output with no error!!! But when i restart the system the problem it's the same!

Re: Boot rescue after first install

Why is "/" defined as sdc2 in your fstab?
Shouldn't it be /dev/sdb2?
Same with grub.cfg:

	set root='hd2,gpt2'

GRUB-speak for the second partition (GPT) on the third HDD (GRUB numbers them from 0)...
Also, the GRUB-install command is directed to sdc as well.

Most importantly:

This output with no error!!! But when i restart the system the problem it's the same!

error: no such device: 3d95f99c-bla bla...*
Entering rescue mode...

* Please post the entire error message -- it could be critical.

Re: Boot rescue after first install

I don't know why the name is changed... But i think that is not importart, because my fstab is configured by UUID and not with DEV...

The UUID in the grub.cfg is the same showed by blkid...

The error on start is this:

error: no such device: 3d95f99c-0b99-4194-be71-5f6696ec5880
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue> _

This is exactly the screen that i seen

Re: Boot rescue after first install

OK, how about the `grub-install` command?
Try this instead:

# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sdb

You've used `--recheck --debug /mnt/sdc`, which is entirely wrong:

Re: Boot rescue after first install

I've used the same command:

#grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /mnt/sdc

The command end fine with no error.

Re: Boot rescue after first install

Is /dev/sdb1 flagged as a "BIOS boot partition" ("ef02" in gdisk)?
What is the output of:

# gdisk -l /dev/sdb

EDIT: you've aligned to sector 6144 (why? EBS in not directly related to alignment -- 4k is standard) -- I've seen a thread on the Debian forum in which a user with a similarly-aligned drive couldn't boot...
Maybe starting on sector 34 (for the BIOS boot partition, 2048 for the rest) would fix this?

Yes, the sdb1 is 2MB Type ef02 for the boot...

gdisk is not installed...

GPT wiki page wrote:

While GPT support on BIOS systems is theoretically possible it sometimes isn't practical and other times there are complete incompatibilities.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GU … OS_systems

I would recommend trying a UEFI boot manager such as gummiboot instead...
Or maybe an MBR disk if you want to continue with non-EFI booting.
