Halting at GRUB loading. [Workaround]

nmiculinic · 2016-11-27 02:25:26

I'm stuck at black screen with only worlds GRUB loading. written on them. I've installed Arch loosely based upon https://gist.github.com/mattiaslundberg … install-L9

That is I have a hdd and ssd. On hdd, sdb1 is !00GB Ubuntu installation I usually use as backup OS.
On sda1 is EFI, sda2 is /boot and sda3 is LUKS encrpyted btrfs root.

for mkinitcpio I've added ext4 into modules and added encrypt into hooks before filesystem as it says.

I have no idea what's going wrong, or where to even start debugging. Thank you for any help you could provide.

EDIT:

I gave up and reinstalled everything... using UEFI this time (for various reasons I wasn't able to boot into uefi mode) and finally got it working with systemd boot

Use the official documentation on the wiki. Random third party guides are always outdated, often wrong and never supported here.

That's why I said loosely based. I used the official documentation on the wiki for doublechecking (dm-crpyt one https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … _LUKS_mode and beginners guide).

Might be relevant, ssd is GPT partition scheme with UEFI.

Paste your partition table and your grub config.
