Cannot Boot Into EndeavourOS After Fresh Install

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

Quick explanation first. I have multi boot, few partitions has MX (my main) installed.

I would like to test something in EOS, so I installed it on a spare empty partition. I wanted to do a PBR install, but wasn’t sure how to choose this option. I didn’t pick SystemD boot, since my MX is not using SystemD and I was afraid, I may mess something up. So I choose: grub. And method was to replace existing partition.

Install performed without an error, partition is populated, but my (EFI) boot loader is not seeing, finding EOS partition. Command: sudo update-grub does nothing.

Bottom line, I do not have access to this fresh install of EOS. Is there some easy simple way to be able to boot into it? If not, no big deal, all the rest works as intended, I can just reformat partition.

But if I try to install EoS again, what should I do, to install it as PBR (so it does not take over my boot loader).

And sorry for probably using wrong terminology

Now that I’m thinking about it, first part of this question is probably more suitable for MX forum. So ignore it.

My only question is, what should I choose, to be able to install EOS alongside of few of my MX installs, but that boot loader stays in MX control? Also I have just learned you need 1GB EFI partition for SystemD boot. My EFI partition is smaller, as it was normal a while back :slight_smile:

From available options, I just couldn’t figure it out…

@former ,
No Bootloader (called PBR in MX) is an option you should select
on screen 5 or 6 during installation of EnOS.

In MX
modify /etc/default/grub

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

sudo update-grub2

So EnOS should be recognized.
