Yes but the terminal is frozen, cannot do anything other than reboot
Thats fine thanks 
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 havenāt 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.
Ok Iāll give it a shot. thanks

Could you boot up your live usb and post the output of:
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.
PYTHON JOB]: "Device Start End Sectors Size Type\n"
[PYTHON JOB]: "/dev/sda1 2048 923647 921600 450M Windows recovery environment\n"

I would delete /dev/sd5 and make the following partition using Gparted in live session:
- 1000 MiB FAT32 as ESP
- 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 āalongsideā to win ?
Using grub and the ESP of win ?
(EOS does take about 1MB only when running grub, ā so at my EOS )
1 Like
Thatās also a valid option.
Sommehow, previously OPās attempt at installing Grub had failed. We could never know why that happened since no log could be retrieved because system froze up
The āmanualā 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 havnāt tried yet is the āalongsideā version. But what about the disk partitions. Then you install on ntfs?
no ntfs for EOS
I know but if I install alongside windows that is on ntfs
yes, alongside win, but that doesnāt mean in ntfs
choose ext4 (or btrfs)
I see guess I have to merge my two partitions dev/sda3 and dev/sda5 before I start the install, so that the installer can do the shrinking of the windows partitionā¦
I would delete sda5 only
