Plasma Reboot Caused Install To No Longer Boot

General system Newbie
1

So far I have tried the following on a EOS Live USB:

sudo mount /sdc2 /mnt
sudo mount /sdc1 /mnt/efi # <-- Seems to be where it's normally mounted according to my /etc/fstab
sudo arch-chroot /mnt

reinstall-kernals
# (...completes fine)
bootctl install
# (seems to run fine but warns me about accessible random seed)

Does not boot but has a Linux bootable option in my bios, when I try to boot nothing happens. Even selecting it in boot override in my bios just refuses to do anything not even an error screen.

I would normally expect to be put into a basic text menu (not grub) which I can select endevour-os, it’s fallback, or windows from. Windows is on a completely seperate drive but to boot into it I need to enable optane in the BIOS which might be messing with things (I have tried booting from it with that option on and off with no difference)

I did try installing grub at some point with the os prober but then realised I was using the default setup of bootctl so removed the /efi/EFI/Linux folder.

Sorry but I’m quite new to arch linux so any help with suggested sanity checks would be much appreciated. I did try the instructions on a few posts before this so this is my last hope before rescuing the files in my /home and reinstalling which would be a massive pain.

Can you share the contents of your /etc/fstab and lsblk -o name,type,fstype,size,uuid

Also the contents of my /efi and /boot if that helps

[root@EndeavourOS /]# ls /efi/EFI
BOOT  Linux  Microsoft  systemd
[root@EndeavourOS /]# ls /boot
efi  grub  intel-ucode.img

Thanks for having a look

What does sudo efibootmgr show?

Now this is interesting, there’s a ton of instances for my windows boot loader apparently…

Also looks like there’s some stuff hanging around from my attempt at using grub

This is why it isn’t fixing it. You need to boot the ISO in UEFI mode and then set the arch-chroot up again and run bootctl install.

It should work after that.

Ah, I thought I had booted it in UEFI, is there a trick to doing that? There are two options in my boot menu for the live usb I made, is there a way to tell which is which as both say UEFI

Thank you so much for the help, really nice to see the Linux community be this patient with me.

So I had to exit the chroot and use the usb itself with bootctl and the Param to point it to my /mnt/efi and that detected the UEFI boot and allowed me to boot into it
