Why do I get No grub when I boot arch?
I installed Arch Linux from a USB flash drive. Everything went well, no errors at all. When I rebooted, however, I got only a blank screen with a blinking cursor. No GRUB. I cannot input anything. I’m sure I followed the installation instructions properly. Can anybody suggest what might be the problem? Edit: grub’s menu.lst:
How to boot Linux but Grub does not load?
If you’re booting Linux by choosing the Linux disk in the BIOS boot menu, then Grub will need to read its own files, and the Linux kernels, from hd0. Boot into your installation, and edit the file /boot/grub/device.map to associate /dev/sdb with hd0 and /dev/sda with hd1. Then run
What to do if Grub does not start after installation?
That command tells Windows’ UEFI loader (bootmgfw.efi) to start \\EFI\buntu\\grubx64.efi so copying /EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi to /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi will probably work and save you from having to install Windows. Try /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi first though, that at least is actually defined in the UEFI standard.
Why does grub.efi not start after installation?
The ESP is mounted in /boot and changing the boot order does not work because once I reboot it return to the original order. So have you placed the GRUB .efi loader at /boot/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi?
Install os-proberthen mount Ubuntu partition: Detecting other operating systems To have grub-mkconfig search for other installed systems and automatically add them to the menu, install the os-prober package and mount the partitions that contain the other systems. Then re-run grub-mkconfig.
Is there a way to install GRUB2 on my computer?
GRUB2 itself may not solve anything (though it might), but the install process itself may solve your problem. As a reward, you get the latest and greatest version of GRUB, with whatever glorious benefits the new version may entail (and a solution to the problem?) Check the boot order settings in the BIOS.
What are the default filenames for boot arch?
The default filenames I ended up with were /vmlinuz-linux (in place of /vmlinuz26) and /initramfs-linux.img ( /kernel26.img) – booting from the live CD and modifying /boot/grub/menu.lst to replace the kernel and initramfs locations let me boot.
