System not booting after install.

[omar-bdreldin]

Hello Chris, I wanted to thank you for your time and effort to give us this tool. I was excited to try it out. However I couldn't get the system to boot after installation. I'm trying to setup a Gnome environment. I tried both full and minimal modes with ext4 file system. Still didn't work, and I get a message that there is no bootable disk. I suspect grup is the cause as I faced similar issue before, on my laptop, when using the bundled "archinstall" tool. Can we have the option to not use grup, similar to archinstall?

It seems the "archinstall" tool added a fix for boot failure after installation w/ GRUB on some devices and is now working fine. The fix was included in their latest version w/ the improved TLI. However I find the system installation resulting from your script to be much better, I hope this gets fixed in the future.

I encountered this on two other laptops with archtitus, I had installed arch with refind bootloader manually. For another machine I installed artix. Possible theory is both systemd and the grub have initialization functions and by using an operating system that changed one of these on both machines I was able to get the system working. Maybe the windows bootmanager, grub and systemd is conflicting.

I'm not so sure. The systemd-boot seems to work fine but grub had the issue. However distros using grub are working fine for me and you, as you mentioned Artix, so they have a fix for that, and the archinstall team added the fix recently for grub + you have the option to use sytemd-boot. It would be great if this is fixed in archtitus :)
