Here’s some info that can help you.

Dracut -> mkinitcpio; issues/hints

The basic process is very simple. For systemd-boot: Install kernel-install-mkinitcpio from the AUR Configure mkinitcpio.conf Run sudo reinstall-kernels For grub: Remove eos-dracut Install mkinitcpio Remove dracut Configure mkinitcpio.conf Run sudo mkinitcpio -P The reason we don’t have instructions is that the “configure mkinitcpio.conf” step is specific to you hardware and needs.

That is for switching from dracut to mkinitcpio, not from systemd-boot to grub.

@hssh, it isn’t super simple but the basic steps look like this:

• Install grub
• Configure /etc/default/grub being sure to set the proper kernel options
• Remove kernel-install-for-dracut
• Install eos-dracut
• Reinstall all your kernel packages
• Run grub_install with the proper options for your situation
• Run sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• Reboot, make sure you can get into grub and everything is working properly.
• Clean up /efi to removing all the kernels, initrds and other systemd-boot specific things.
• Use efibootmgr to remove the systemd-boot entry

If you just installed, it is probably easier to reinstall.
