[SOLVED} Trouble with UEFI bootctl install

zomblake · 2018-03-31 02:27:21

Hello all. I'm new to the forums, but I've been a long time arch user. I recently got a new-to-me-laptop and wanted to put arch on it. I went through the installation according to the guide like I have done in the past, but this time I can't seem to get the install to boot after exiting the chroot env. and rebooting. It drops me into an emergency shell and I'm not sure how to get the actual logs either. I took a picture of the errors I am seeing on screen (sorry in advance). Hope that can be helpful. Any additional info I'd be happy to supply.

Mod edit:
Replaced large image with link.

Thanks. I will read the rules more carefully.

Looks like you didn't configure it correctly. Specifically, you didn't specify the root filesystem.

How would I specify the root file system? I created the partitions like I normally do and marked /dev/sda3 as root and used that as /mnt. Is this something specific to bootctl? Ive never used bootctl before as my other computers required me to use GRUB. I read the wiki page but ended up a little confused on the exact procedure.

Ah yes. I see my mistake. I ended up adding the PARTUUID for the home partition at the end of my arch .conf file.

echo "options root=PARTUUID=$(blkid -s PARTUUID -o value /dev/sdb3) rw" >> /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf

Thanks for the help.

Do not post full screen pictures; use links to the images instead, optionally with thumbnails. Any image with dimensions greater than 250x250px or over 50Kb in size will be removed. Do not post screenshots of text output; post the actual text.

Should have read the rules. Thank you.
