Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

In my live usb my root seems to be mounted at "/media/ubuntu/2c829835...", though it doesn't seem to be accessible from arch-chroot. Should I provide any other information maybe? I feel like I have not other options to input.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

What does "seem" mean? What error do you get from chrooting? You need to mount that location (... in doubt do so manually rather than relying on a GUI popup) chroot there, mount nvme0n1p1 to /boot after the chroot and run

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

what's your current output of

mount

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

running mount outputs what is below.

Please use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

You need to mount that location (... in doubt do so manually rather than relying on a GUI popup) chroot there, mount nvme0n1p1 to /boot after the chroot

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

So I did that. I arch-chroot into my unencrypted, then mounted /dev/nvme0n1p1 (while in chroot) to /boot and I then ran the command above and it gave me

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.

But when rebooting I am still sent back into the grub command line.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

Did you regenerate the grub's config while you were in the chroot with everything set up correctly to install grub?

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

I did everything again with the inclusion of

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and everything ran without errors, what did change is that the grub menu shows up now, but just with the UEFI Firmware option.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

did you mount the boot partition before running that? What was your exact grub-install command? You need to boot the config and the kernel from the ESP which should be mounted to /boot

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

the exact commands that I inputted were the following:

sudo arch-chroot /media/ubuntu/2c829835-ebbd-45d2-98c5-d21df1ce09cc

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

If that's exactly what you did, either the sudo was unnecessary or you should have got permissions errors when you dropped it.

This is all the output I got:

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

I assume there's an error before GRUB drops you into the commandline, the cause is typically that the GRUB objects are not in the expected location.
What's the output of "ls -R /boot" after

sudo arch-chroot /media/ubuntu/2c829835-ebbd-45d2-98c5-d21df1ce09cc
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot

?

In doubt just re-install the grb package at this point.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

The wiki says to create the configuration file *after* running grub-install. However, it is a long time since I used grub and I can't remember whether this matters.

stat /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/acpi.mod

Also there's some rather fishy /boot/EFI/ubuntu - is there also a parallel ubuntu installation?

What's the actual error message before you get dropped into the grub shell?

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

Before I ran those commands got not feedback, and was just put into grub shell.
After the commands I just boot straight into grub, UEFI Firmware being the only option (which make me enter my BIOS).

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

What "commands"? grub-mkconfig and grub-install?

What's the content of the /boot/grub/grub.cfg you generated?

Not sure if any of this will help.

You don't have a kernel or initramfs in your /boot partition, that's why grub-mkconfig hasn't created an entry.
You need to install the kernel after mounting the boot partition.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

So this is what I was able to do so far. I had a backup that I had made, and that was able save my boot directory. I copy/paste it into my main boot directory and it still just shows me "UEFI Firmware" in grub. I don't think the command "sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot" is right, even after using it the main boot directory changes from

acpi_override.cpio  EFI   initramfs-linux-fallback.img  vmlinuz-linux
amd-ucode.img       grub  initramfs-linux.img

to

boot  EFI  grub

boot > grub > fonts  grubenv  locale  x86_64-efi
EFI > BOOT GRUB  ubuntu
grub > fonts  grub.cfg  grubenv  locale  themes  x86_64-efi

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

You need to install linux, your microcode,  *after* mounting the partition. The initramfs etc. is not on your boot partition. When you mount the partition to /boot, you see what is actually installed there i.e. no amd-ucode.img, no initramfs-linux.img, no vmlinuz-linux etc. That's because those things were installed when the partition wasn't mounted. So they're in the wrong place and grub can't find them.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

copied the files from my backup

most likely means you're now booting an older kernel that has no modules in /lib/modules.
Re-install the kernel from the chroot w/ mounted /boot partition.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

I can't compile the kernel in my boot partition because it's only 500MB in size. Any other way?

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

What?
Compile your kernel in your boot partition?
Wtf are you talking about?

Boot the live system, chroot, mount /boot, and then"pacman -S linux"
If you're running a custom kernel, you can re-install it from the chroot as usual.

How did you install archlinux?

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB doesn't boot after updating config

Lets go!! It finally worked, the solution was simpler than I thought. Thank you to everyone who has helped me with this long problem. I'll post the solution to the first post.
