Re: Grub problem after running grub mkconfig.

Ok, so I ran both those commands, how do I upload them? Are the saved on the USB?

Re: Grub problem after running grub mkconfig.

@Spider.007 It's like GRUB isn't installed, it goes straight to Aetheros PCIe controller, w/e that is. I don't know if I'm UEFO or not.

You know how to go into the UEFI/BIOS configuration on your and turn on UEFI, right?

Ok, so I ran both those commands, how do I upload them? Are the saved on the USB?

I don't think so. Either way, you should copy them to a separate writeable storage medium (so, another USB stick) and then upload it.

@clfarron4 I actually dont know how to go into the UEFI/BIOS, and I'll write it later today, I don't have a second USB stick on me.

Re: Grub problem after running grub mkconfig.

Have a look at this post I made showing someone how to boot UEFI + GPT (using Virtualbox) soup to nuts, see if it helps you figure out where you're going wrong:

Note that I use LVM so you'll want to skip those parts if not applicable.

Re: Grub problem after running grub mkconfig.

Insert a USB stick & run this:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
# cp lsblk.txt /mnt/
# cp gdisk.txt /mnt/

Presuming the stick is assigned to /dev/sdb1 (check by plugging the stick & running `dmesg|tail`), this will copy the text files to your stick.

Are you sure you want to run Arch?
If you're having trouble with this, maybe you should try Mint 'til you feel more comfortable using the command line.

Re: Grub problem after running grub mkconfig.

I'm very comfortable with the command line, and I've had mind, fedora, and arch and arch is by far the most comfortable, AUR is really comfortable, pacman is really nice. I'm usually better with this.
