After Installion SSD not seen

Trevor_B · 2024-12-28 11:34:32

Hello

I'm getting ready for a new Installion next year on a new PC, so I'm trying out the Installer rather than running a manual installion again

I've tried the installion three times now, everything seems to go well, I have no errors anywhere

But when booting the PC the SSD is not shown in the Bios

I have tried the systemd and grub choices but both to no avail, both are not seen in the bios

When I re-boot into my existing setup I can see/mount the other SSD, see the Gparted screenshot, everything looks OK, I'm fairly sur the Grub or Systemd boot is not being installed or I'm doing somthing wrong but what ?

Here are some Screen Shots if anyone can point me in the right direction

Have you disabled SecureBoot?

Please share the archinstall log.

I don't have secure boot (Old motherboard ) or if I do it's disabled as I can boot my other SSD with Arch

How to get and copy / move the log as I only have the usb running while trying to install ?

cat /path/to/file | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

or copy it to any usb-key and walk it somewhere else.

I tried three more times , Grub and sytemd also redownlaoded the ISO just incase

everytime no error messages

The SSD is not seen in the Bios. for info I had installed many moons ago a manuel install on this SSD which booted perfectly

For info At the end of the install it ask if I want to Chroot, I said no

Here are the logs

Are there GRUB and/or systemd-boot files present on the ESP (/dev/sda1)?

Trevor_B · 2024-12-30 19:36:46

If I mount the SSD after booting into normal my Arch system

The /run/media/trevor/97cc59ed-c527-4520-868a-b6dab10387c3/boot/

is completely empty

Well that would explain the problem then.

Were the files posted from /var/log/archinstall? I seem to remember that file being more than a configuration outline but I could be wrong.

Anyway, according to your links /dev/sda1 should be mounted under /boot/ so check /etc/fstab on the root partition to be sure.

her's the fstab
# Static information about the filesystems.
# See fstab(5) for details.

# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda2
UUID=97cc59ed-c527-4520-868a-b6dab10387c3 / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1

# /dev/sda1
UUID=3940-3706 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 2

I could probably fix it manually

But it was only a test trying ArchInstaller before I receive my new PC and it looks like it could be a bug in the installer itself

Mounting the ESP under /boot/ is silly anyway. Perhaps mention that in the bug report. I see _many_ journals with warnings about FAT corruption on the /boot/ partition and we see _many_ threads about un-mounted /boot/ partitions during upgrades, presumably because of the corruption.
