[SOLVED] Failing to install grub properly

When I reboot machine grub opens grub terminal(not rescue) instead of standard selecting table. What am I doing wrong?

I installed according to wiki:

cfdisk

/dev/sda1 -> main partition
/dev/sda2 -> swap
/dev/sda3 -> efi partition

mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
swap /dev/sda2 && swapon /dev/sda2
mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda3

i mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt , do pacstrap end genfstab

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
pacstrap /mnt base
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

then i chroot in /mnt, make directory called efi, and install grub

mount /dev/sda3 /efi
pacman -S grub efibootmgr

then i do:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=efi --removable
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Re: [SOLVED] Failing to install grub properly

You have not installed kernel.... `base` group replaced by mandatory `base` package - manual intervention required
