Are you using an EOS ISO?
It is part of the arch-install-scripts package. Maybe you need to install it first.
am running endeavouros on another partition
Please - EXACTLY how would I install EOS keeping the /home directory? I’m sorry, but I need exact instructions.
(I tried the instructions listed about chroot but the process did not work for me, Sorry.)

@dalto 's instructions are exact:
Start the installer, choose Online (not Offline) install method. Early on, the installer will ask you to choose either one way.
Start a new thread about this. It doesn’t belong here.

I know how to reinstall using Online method. What I need to know is how to keep my original /home directory during the installation.

It has been said (and quoted) multiple times, here.
Hmm.
Are people updating the installed GRUB loader when the GRUB package gets updated?
Wouldn’t that automatically be part of an update to grub? I remember it being so in the past (on Arch). Maybe I’m wrong? Maybe no longer the case?
Or, your point is, after a downgrade of grub? Then it would likely be essential to update grub.
No.
I’ve never seen this; how long ago are we talking?
No, after an upgrade of the grub package, are people running grub-install to actually install the new version of the bootloader?
If they’re not doing this then is that a factor?

I don’t think so.
I can’t comment on it’s validity since I’m not knowledgeable enough with Arch’s infrastructure, but I found this Reddit comment rather interesting and would appreciate anyone else’s insight(s) if they know the reasons for why the Arch devs might’ve done this:
I’m trying to find this out too and wonder why the latest
grubpackage in arch is built from master branch instead of the latest release tag. It seems to be switched from release-tag to latest commit a few updates ago on 8th June: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commits/packages/grub/trunkThis seems rather risky to me.
My mind may be tricking me here. Maybe it was on another distro.
Of course it is!!!
I took this approach, and its working now with the new grub version.
But I’m getting 10-15 seconds of delay from the boot to the grub menu, is this expected?

I arch-chrooted on my btrfs install and downgraded grub. Works fine now on UEfI.

This seems fundamental from mere logic!
It’s been completely ignored by all posters, so far!!
Or?!
It depends on your current disk layout.
That being said, in many cases it will be more difficult than the chroot option.
Can we see lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size,label run from the live ISO?
