Hey,
I am writing automation for bootstrapping archlinux clusters using Ansible (although I have confirmed the following manually too).
However all of the following (seperate) commands fail:
arch-chroot /mnt grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/mnt/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --boot-directory=/mnt/boot
arch-chroot /mnt grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --boot-directory=/bootThey all fail with a message akin to:
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: disk `lvmid/emAQTn-nRnY-Q2JJ-MfFv-UKTd-LBO1-wHswZZ/JLgN4L-JcUi-98kk-aRFe-jtfW-NRFe-2qxc2Q' not found.For each machine I have the following setup
I have 3 partitions on each disk:
- 1MiB partition for bios-boot (since im using GPT)
- ~1GiB efi partition for UEFI (trying to ensure bootable by both bios and efi)
- X GiB root partition across all drives which matches the smallest remaining space on any single drive (minus a little space for any manufacturer changes)
e.g:

This is largely just the usual steps from the archwiki
I then further bootstrap mkinitcpio and grub using: https://gitlab.com/deepcypher/dc-auto/- … /main.yaml
this creates a mkinitcpio sub-hook with efistub-copy using a 1-1 example from the archwiki. And it is the second to last step that fails.

I have seen a tonne of posts like this relating to motherboard swaps or such issues, but this is upon initial installation, and does not entail any encryption. I have been searching google, the archwiki, and the forums for days to see if there was any advice. I have thus been unsuccessful which is why I am now finally posting here.

Please edit your post and use [ code ] tags (not quote tags or markdown) when posting output. This makes the output easier to read and provides a scroll box for long output.

Hey @2ManyDogs
Thanks for linking the guidelines those were very helpful, I believe the new formatting of the question makes it significantly easier to read, so really thanks for pointing those out.
