So `/dev/sda6` is your root-partition. What is `/dev/sda8` ? ---

That means, grub is excluded from further updates on your system now. You need to undo that in case you want to update grub again in the future. ---

> [@dotarjun](#): > > `sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/boot/efi` Just helpful to remember for chroot next time, you mounted the wrong partition for EFI, I think your linux efi is probably at `/dev/sda1`, do `ls` on it to confirm or else it would be in `/dev/nvme0n1p1` ---

Unfortunately this didn’t helped. I deleted all my old entries and did another grup-install afterwards. If I try to boot I’m getting the same error after selecting which kernel I want to boot. ---

Is the error you are getting out of range error? what’s your `efibootmgr -v` now? ---

Hello everyone. I recently updated my EndeavourOS, and as you know, there were problems with grub. I followed these instructions: > [@The latest grub package update needs some manual intervention](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-latest-grub-package-update-needs-some-manual-intervention/30689): > > (Grub 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1) Grub Update Causing Unbootable OS On UEFI Systems A grub update today is causing boot issues on UEFI systems. It will make most systems unbootable so take care! with no intervention, the system will just boot directly into Firmware with no way to boot the OS. If you have this issue follow these instructions: First boot onto an EndeavourOS Live ISO. Ensure that you are booting the ISO via UEFI mode. Follow these instructions to chroot into your install: [ht…](https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot-for-efi-uefi-systems/2021/03/) [https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot-for-efi-uefi-systems/2021/03/](https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot-for-efi-uefi-systems/2021/03/) But unfortunately I can’t `grub-install`. I am not experienced in OS management, and after a couple of hours of trying I decided to create this thread for help. This is an output of `sudo fdisk -l`: ```auto Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 476.94 GiB, 512110190592 bytes, 1000215216 sectors Disk model: SK hynix PC711 HFS512GDE9X073N Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 0C0B6E43-B4DE-4943-A6D2-29692E32329A Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/nvme0n1p1 4096 618495 614400 300M EFI System /dev/nvme0n1p2 618496 1000206899 999588404 476.6G Linux filesystem Disk /dev/sda: 14.51 GiB, 15581839360 bytes, 30433280 sectors Disk model: Disk 2.0 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0xab3ab792 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 64 3579839 3579776 1.7G 0 Empty /dev/sda2 3579840 3788735 208896 102M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32) Disk /dev/loop0: 1.6 GiB, 1723146240 bytes, 3365520 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes ``` I am right now sitting from live boot of my USB with an EndeavourOS. After trying every single combination many times, and then running `sudo arch-chroot /mnt`, I was able to chroot: after running `ls /home` I get my user directory. However, running `grub-install` gets me this message: ```auto Installing for x86_64-efi platform. grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory. ``` I am very sorry if I did something incorrectly. I didn’t sleep for last 26 hours and there is an important work currently on my OS. Would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you in advance. ---

To moderators: I suppose the hot/warm period is over. IMHO, any more similar issues would be better left to their own topic, if started individually, and those users would need personalized instructions. Unless you have set up some goal to see how many posts could this give 😆 , you might want to consider not merging more here… ? 🤷 Just an opinion, nothing more. 😉 ---

Yes I get this error after selecting some kernel. After I did grup-install I can see the endeavour entry when doing efibootmgr -v. It’s also at the first position (0000). I think this means this part should be okay, because I can boot (don’t know how we call this part of software) endeavour where I can chose which kernel I want to use. And after this I’m getting this out of range error.
