can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

There are more topics on this, I just can't figure out what will work for me.

I want a Windows 11 / Arch dual boot system. I tried installing Windows first and then Arch, but I just could not get that working, so I tried it the other way around. Install Arch first, then Windows 11. Now, when I try to boot Arch I go to grub rescue mode. I've tried to boot Arch with a Supergrub usb, but that didn't work. Is there a way to get a working grub with both Windows 11 and Arch as an option? And how can I make this work? I can' t remember this being so difficult previously. Must be UEFI...

This is de drive layout:

nvme0n1     259:0    0 931.5G  0 disk 
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0  1000M  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0 195.3G  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0    16M  0 part 
└─nvme0n1p4 259:4    0 735.2G  0 part

When installing Arch I used p1 as /boot/efi (if I remember correctly), EFI is on p1. p2 is the Arch data partition with /boot. p3 is listed as Microsoft reserved. p4 is the Windows 11 installation.

Any help is very welcome. I've not run Arch in a long while. Looking forward to getting this working.

Re: can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

First, a personal pet peeve.  https://languageandgrammar.com/2008/06/ … mar-error/

What is the output of efibootmgr -u   ?
Another approach might be to use a Windows install media repair the installation to get it to the point where we can boot Windows.  Then we can can fix Grub.

Booting Windows is not the issue. Booting Arch is. I can swap Windows and Arch in the boot order and then, when starting the notebook, Windows boots just fine. Arch isn' t though>grub rescue.

Running from a Ubuntu live usb:

Re: can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

I was able to fix my Arch boot through grub rescue:

grub rescue>set boot=(hd0,gpt2)
grub rescue>set prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub
grub rescue>insmod normal
grub rescue>normal

Now I have to get Windows 11 in the Arch grub menu. I've mounted the Windows partition on /mnt, installed os-prober and ran grub-mkconfig. But it doesn't show up. Suggestions?

Re: can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

Did you configure /etc/default/grub to enable os-probing within mkinitcpio? Generally not entirely sure whether our os-prober package includes Win 11 support already

You have a UEFI system so the Windows bootloader should be on the EFI system partition. Was the ESP mounted when you ran grub-mkconfig? If so check for bootmgfw.efi on that partition, that file is Windows' bootloader.

Thanks for that. I didn't, but then I did. This is the output when running grub-mkconfig:

It seems like Windows is picked up. It still doesn´t show up in the menu though.

I ran sudo grub-install, but that didn't change a thing. I'm missing a step here somewhere?

Re: can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

Then you aren't loading the GRUB associated with that config file. What exact grub-install comand did you use and what's your output of

lsblk -f
efibootmgr -uv

That is what I am thinking. I ran grub-mkconfig and then grub-install, both as sudo. grub-install without any options (which is probably not the right way wink.

Re: can't boot Arch after Windows 11 install

I fixed the issue... probably not in the best or right way, but I'm not sure what is going on.

I ran:

grub-mkconfig --output=./grub.cfg.MYVERSION

Then made a backup of the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and moved grub.cfg.MYVERSION to /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

I then mounted /dev/nvme0n1p1 on /mnt and ran:

sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p1

There are probably some unnecessary steps there, but it worked.

Any suggestions to do this better or to skip these steps are welcome.

Note that the block device argument is ignored for UEFI GRUB. To specify a particular ESP use the --efi-directory option (not needed in this case though).

I am not sure what that means..., but thanks wink

For now my solution is:

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

Maybe that option should have been there all along... probably.
