I am trying to set up a dual boot with Windows 11, but I am encountering an exception in main.py. The error is logged, and you can see it here: https://termbin.com/05x5.
I have already checked some threads and ensured that “Fast Startup” is turned off, as well as “Safe Boot.” However, the issue persists.
Welcome to the forum @ebyrdeu ,
As …n1p1 resizing failed try to run gparted from the live system and create a fat32 partition on the target disk with size 1GB. Set efi flag. Make ext4 partition as well or btrf if you are brave enough. Reboot and select manual partioning not to spoil w11.
Are you going to install EnOS to sda disk don’t you?
Interestingly enough, this log shows my manual partition attempt, where I set 1GB fat32 with the EFI flag and 126GB with boot flag formatted as ext4. However, last week I tried the “alongside” and “replace” installation options (or whatever their names are), and I encountered the same Main.py error.
That same week, I wiped the entire disk (hoping it would resolve the issues), installed Windows 11 first, and then tried again with EOS, but still no luck.
Regarding the disk, if I understood your question correctly, I’m attempting to install it on an NVMe
I see in the log. Not sure if you selected the wrong boot flag here? There’s not enough information here to understand your installation layout and partitioning scheme. Is this system UEFI? Are you trying to install EOS on the same disc as Windows? Are you using default systemd-boot or grub?
Setting flags on "/dev/nvme0n1" partition "/dev/nvme0n1p5"
"boot"
"bios-grub"
You should be able to use install along side without issue on the same disc as Windows. Have you made sure secure boot is disabled and also CSM is disabled. It looks like you’re using default systemd-boot. If CSM is enabled it can boot the ISO in bios mode. I assume the system is UEFI?
You may need to post information about your hardware using the proper commands. Also the discs.
Edit: I guess what I’m getting at is this is confusing. It looks like you are saying that you flagged the / with boot and that is not correct for UEFI.
And… it worked. Maybe I was actually / flagged with boot
But still doesn’t explain why alongside and replace doesn’t work. Also, on an old laptop tested with erase whole disc also didn’t work for some reason.
That’s exactly what i said. You flagged the root partition as /boot not the /efi. That is only done if using bios normally or you set up a separate /boot partition for bios.
Also there are 5 newer UEFI Firmware (Bios) updates for your motherboard.
Edit: Not sure how you are posting the images but i can’t read them as they don’t expand when i click on them.
