I see. If everything is frozen then I guess we cannot get that log file. What a bummer! ---

Could you try deleting the partitions you have made and choose the automatic installation instead of the manual? Go with the defaults. That would be BTRFS and systemd-boot. ---

I guess so. There is 4 different kinds of installation right? 1.Alongside 2.Replace a partition 3.Erase disk 4. Manual which one? ---

I havenā€™t looked at the installer for quite a while but I am sure you will find the right option. It might be Alongside then. Or Replace Partition. Definitely not 3 and 4. ---

If you followed pebcak, and deleted the partitions you created before, it would be no. 2. ā€¦potentially you would also need to create a new (empty) partition for that (replace partition), just to be sure. ---

Ahha, everything installed now, but on reboot it goes into windows. So I gotta find out what key to press during start `https://0x0.st/H8oi.txt` got into the uefi on startup but only windows boot as number 1 and HDD: Kingston as number 2 no endeavourosā€¦ ---

Could you boot up your live usb and post the output of: ```auto sudo parted -l efibootmgr -v ``` Just skimping through the log, it looks like no new EFI was set up during the installation. For systemd-boot EnOS sets up an ESP of 1G size. ```auto PYTHON JOB]: "Device Start End Sectors Size Type\n" [PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda1 2048 923647 921600 450M Windows recovery environment\n" [PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda2 923648 1542239 618592 302M EFI System\n" [PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda3 1542240 231846149 230303910 109.8G Microsoft basic data\n" [PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda4 499054592 500115455 1060864 518M Windows recovery environment\n" [PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda5 231846150 499054591 267208442 127.4G Linux filesystem\n" ``` I would delete /dev/sd5 and make the following partition using Gparted in live session: 1. 1000 MiB FAT32 as ESP 2. the rest of the disk EXT4 as root system Then I would choose the manual install: mount ESP at /efi flag boot mount root system at / no flag Also go with systemd-boot. ---

@pebcak what do you think about a new install ā€œalongsideā€ to win ? Using grub and the ESP of win ? (EOS does take about 1MB only when running grub, ā€” so at my EOS ) ---

Thatā€™s also a valid option. Sommehow, previously OPā€™s attempt at installing Grub had failed. We could never know why that happened since no log could be retrieved because system froze up ---

The ā€˜manualā€™ option have been tried many times with both systemd-boot and grub. All same results - frozen system. Also tried a slightly older installer offline. So I guess the only thing I havnā€™t tried yet is the ā€˜alongsideā€™ version. But what about the disk partitions. Then you install on ntfs? ---
