Add existing installation to systemd bootmanager

jmoser · 2018-04-10 22:17:10

Hi

After my first successful installation of the Arch base system and successfully configuring dual boot for Arch and Kubuntu (my former os of choice) I decided to try and move my ESP with KDE Partition Manager and broke it. Long story short, I had to format my ESP and reinstall Arch. I decided to go with systemd-boot and it works for booting Arch. I need to boot into Kubuntu again though and I just cant find any information on how to add existing OS installations to UEFI / systemd-boot.

Any help highly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer. I found this wiki section but it does not really help me.
I dont know which "EFI program" to start.
Tried with the same as for Arch and root=dev (where dev is the root for the kubuntu installation) but it did not work.

Your Kubuntu kernel.

Which I dont know where to find. Kubuntu was installed before the data on the ESP was wiped.

So you wiped out the kubuntu kernel it would seem. You need to reinstall it. You should ask on the kubuntu forums for help with that.
