Post the contents of /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Tech-Man · 2021-06-21 20:18:11

Well it does seem like the arch forums supports attachments

Excuse me but how do i do that

ok there sorry for the late reply

Tech-Man · 2021-06-22 11:56:19

so i did it

V1del · 2021-06-22 12:00:01

Add

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER="false"

to your /etc/default/grub and rerun the grub-mkconfig command.

Tech-Man · 2021-06-22 12:09:29

Ok

Tech-Man · 2021-06-22 12:26:50

no still the same

2ManyDogs · 2021-06-22 12:27:46

The error in your first post indicates a syntax error at line 172 in your grub.cfg.

Line 172:

search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid $a8208fe5-e824-4dde-b6ed-138ad9732977$

That line comes from /etc/grub.d/40_custom. Where did that file come from? Did you create it? Why is there a $ before and after the UUIDs in that file?

Tech-Man · 2021-06-22 12:28:10

and os-prober does nothing
