Grub 2:2.06.r322.gd9b4638c5-1 won't boot and goes straight to the BIOS after update

That is totally pointless. That is what where it is already mounted and what you are trying to change.

You need to create the mountpoint first.

sudo mkdir /boot/efi

Then try the mount command.

[limo@lenovo ~]$ sudo mkdir /boot/efi
[limo@lenovo ~]$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /boot/efi

Now see if grub-mkconfig works.

[limo@lenovo ~]$ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

OMG! Are you sure?
@dalto? What you think?
By the way… I still have systemd-boot which I booted through a while ago.
Is this OK?

Should I just reboot now?

1408

Looks like it still didn’t work.

Yes. That is deliberate. We can clean that out once you get grub working.

1410

I hope… I feel we are so close!

1411

I wonder what I should do next.

1412

:worried:

Another fresh install?
I hope not.
I wonder what’s wrong in this case.

1413

What was it again that you were trying to accomplish? :laughing:

1414

Another fresh install :rofl:

1415

I thought it looked like it worked? Just the normal message about not running os-prober, but it added EFI boot entry:

@limotux did you try to boot it?

1416

That entry is the one to open your firmware settings.

Ehh…I have low confidence but give this a try:

sudo rm /etc/grub.d/*
sudo pacman -S grub
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

May I join you. I mean I will go hide under the rock next to you.
I ended up unable even to boot from USB stick, or even enter BIOS!
I will see if I need a new laptop if the service center can’t fix it.
I’m done with Grub forever!

1420

Wait. What happened?!? Grub didn’t break your laptop, I can’t even imagine how that’s possible.

Didn’t @limotux install systemd, then wanted to jump ship back to grub? I recall @dalto warning about changing bootloader with Btrfs setup, but @limotux did it anyways :speak_no_evil:
