I have been using Ubuntu based distros for a few years now. I’ve been distro hopping also in vm’s I am wanting to get into Arch now but after installing Endeavouros with the “erase drive and install” install goes fine but on reboot I keep getting “boot device not found - please install an operating system” on my laptop
Did the same install procedure on a vm and everything went fine
Laptop specs: HP probook 650-G1
I-7 4700 series

@Resiliencia Thank you for that. I followed the Repair GRUB EFI/UEFI system and I do not have the efi directory
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
mount: /mnt/boot/efi: mount point does not exist.
mount /dev/sda /mnt/boot/efi
mount: /mnt/boot/efi: mount point does not exist.
I poked around in the directory after running arch-chroot /mnt and I have 2 boot folders nested inside eachother. Is that correct? /boot/boot
Did you check your BIOS settings is it in uefi mode? Sometimes UEFI/Legacy mode (mixed) are making some troubles.
When you boot live iso, do you see “UEFI” at the end of OS choice in grub menu? I think I had it when I booted up live iso.
@manuel That was my second thought, but would he be able to boot live iso with Secure Boot enabled? I’ll test it later today. I think that it blocked me from even booting live iso back in the day.
@manuel@patryk Sorry something came up last night and was not able to look in the BIOS
My laptop does not have Secure Boot, My work laptop does on the otherhand and does have Secure Boot and I am currently running an Ubuntu flavor on it. I will take a look this evening and post an update
