I love EOS and installed it a few times in the past without any issues.
Now I’m trying to install it on an old laptop (Toshiba Satellite L10W-B-101).
The system installation itself runs fine without any errors but it fails at the very last stage when it tries to install grub with following error code:
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=endeavouros --force returned error code 1.
The error occurs with online and offline installation and with different DEs.
The disk I tried installing to was a completely new/blank SSD.
After 2 fails, out of curiosity I tried installing Linux Mint on the same disk which worked completely fine including the bootloader setup.
But I’d rather use EOS. So if anybody got any ideas on how to fix this, I’d appreciate it.
Thank you a lot! The second command worked, and I get a grub menu now…
BUT
Now I’m stuck on ‘Loading initial ramdisk …’ when trying to boot.
Completely stuck no tty etc. is working.
It’s same for both kernels lts and ‘normal’ one.
