[SOLVED] Replaced Motherboard doesn't boot arch anymore

p2ranger · 2015-04-05 05:15:28

I had to exchange an Asus motherboard still under warranty. Its the same model motherboard as the one that I had arch running on previously. I can not get arch too boot now

I have the computer set to dual boot. Previously, grub would come up where I could choose between arch and windows 8.1 with arch being the default. Now when I just let it boot without interacting with it, it boots to windows. There's no menu. When I press F8 (gives me the boot menu for Asus), none of the choices get me into arch.

I'm not sure what I need to change to get it working again.

Thanks

Jason

UEFI booting, presumably? You'll need to rewrite you NVRAM entry for Arch.

Which bootloader? And was your install set up for uefi?

I forgot to mention that yes, it is UEFI.

I followed the Newbie tutorial from the wiki when I set it up. It looks like I used gummiboot

/boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

title          Arch Linux
linux          /vmlinuz-linux
initrd         /initramfs-linux.img
options        root=/dev/sdb1 rw acpi=off

/boot/loader/loader.conf

default  arch
timeout  5

Is there anything else I can provide for my setup?

As to the link that was provided, I didn't see something in there that would help. If I missed something please let me know

I have no idea how to rewrite my NVRAM entry. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall gummiboot?

Thanks

Boot in using the install image or whatever and then just run gummiboot install

Much thanks. That seems to have done it.

sudo pacman -S gummiboot
