LEAD ME DOWN ANOTHER RABBIT HOLE WITH OBTUSE NON-EXPLANATIONS, I DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
oh you just gotta append some initrd= options to the boot loader or whatever, tehee :troll:
WELL HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THAT?? I WILL FIND YOU
Thanks for the info, it did indeed change the drive name. Tried redoing the whole arch install, but it’s still giving me a “no such device” and “unknown filesystem” when I try to boot. Seems like the UUID is wrong or something
Hard to tell what is wrong from that. I would guess that you skipped some part of the grub configuration. Make sure you do the grub-install above and grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg (or wherever your efi directory is). Plus make sure your disk is formatted with GPT (if you are using fdisk just make sure you start with g command that will create new GPT partition table).
Btw this all assumes you are using GRUB, but if you don’t have any reason not to I would recommend using it, it is the most common bootloader.
(Btw I have to say Arch installation guide seems to be much less straightforward than I remember)
I think I did all those things. Gonna Do it again from scratch to make sure I did the GPT partition scheme properly. e: same error, I’m gonna try asking some arch forum
What’s weird is that the grub rescue says “no such device” and a UUID that doesn’t correspond to any device in the computer, and I double checked that the UUIDs in the grub.cfg are correct. Also, after rebooting, the grub.cfg can no longer be found in the grub folder (created it with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg while chrooted)
