Re: Im stuck at mounting partiction

You don't mount swap, just turn it on...
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sw … _partition

Which bootloader are you planning to use? It may be better to mount your EFI partition as /mnt/boot instead.

Re: Im stuck at mounting partiction

I choose Syslinux

syslinux is for booting linux by legacy bios from a fat32 disk.
you may use your efi firmware directly or systemd-boot or grub.
for swap, do

swapon /dev/sdb3

or add it to your fstab.

syslinux does have partial UEFI support Arch_boot_process#Feature_comparison

I didn't know, thanks.
it's partial because:

UEFI Syslinux does not support
chainloading other EFI
applications

last time I worked with syslinux I was child and I didn't know anything about UEFI (I had a PC with and old pentium and 512MB RAM, I used to use Windows XP)

What do you mean you miss the intel ucode?  Did you install the package intel-ucode?  If it was installed before you ran grub-mkconfig was it not detected?

Re: Im stuck at mounting partiction

From the live environment not in the chroot with the system mounted under /mnt.  (or inside the chroot remove /mnt from the paths)
What is the contents of /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg and the output of `ls /mnt/boot`
