After installing eos pc doesn't boot

after installing and rebooting, the pc remains stuck at “A job
is running for …” line:

then I went to check (using chroot) if the uuids in the fstab file match :

another person also had this problem (in this post) and solved it by removing resume=… from the grub configuration, but I have no resume.

i will add that this is the third reinstallation done with a flash drive, i have used both balena etcher and the dd command (as it says in the eos site on how to do the install). it always gives the same problem

Hi @icsp and welcome to the forum, so others can help more you should post some more information, here is a link to guide with that https://discovery.endeavouros.com/forum-log-tool-options/how-to-include-systemlogs-in-your-post/2021/03/

BTW have you tried to boot with other kernels?

yes, i tried with linux-lts but it gives the same problem. using linux-lts (fallback initramfs) it stops one line before (the one where it says “reached target basic system.”) and after a while it appears:

To send the logs do i have to use chroot? because when i did journalctl it tells me they are not there.

I am honestly not too sure but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to help you with this.

I was able to boot. by doing:

sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
sudo cat /mnt/var/log/Calamares.log

would tell me that the packages were missing:

  1. virtualbox-guest-utils
  2. qemu-guest-agent
  3. spice-vdagent
  4. open-vm-tools
  5. gtkmm3
  6. xf86-input-vmmuose
  7. xf86-video-vmware
  8. mkinitcpio

then I did:

sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
sudo mount --rebind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo mount --rebind /dev /mnt/dev
sudo mount --rebind /run /mnt/run

I then saw if there was a dns configured with:
sudo cat /mnt/etc/resolv.conf

in my case there was

then I did:

sudo arch-chroot /mnt
ping 8.8.8.8
ping google.com

since the network was working I did:
pacman -Syu
and installed the missing packages

then exited chroot and did:
sudo umount -l /mnt

then I closed the terminal and nothing worked, everything I touched said I didn’t have permissions, so I did a forced shutdown of the computer and when it rebooted it went in. I tried it for a while and so far it’s not giving me any problems.

recheck all option in your UEFI motherboard
for Endaevouros

  • secureboot off
  • csm off
  • fast boot off
  • all disks to ahci
  • no optane , off
  • no legacy

Only the fast boot is active, and it was during installation as well.

How could one be missing these packages from installing EOS as per topic title. Most of those aren’t installed on an EOS install. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Came to my mind that maybe this was some sort of homebrew or something. :thinking:

I followed what the installer said. Maybe because I had installed it on an external ssd and then did the install on my pc’s ssd. It still seems strange to me though because to install it on my pc I did a fresh install.

I’m also confused and trying to make sense of this, about the only thing that I can think is maybe tried to install during live session or tried after without updating mirrors.
