They thank you for your donated blood today. Please come back soon.
Looking for new donors. Is your name on the list?
Na man. I can smell blood a mile away.
Perhaps you can use the wording “mosquito” when you see one
Things didn’t go well. Today i boot and it goes straight to windows…
I really don’t understand it. I didn’t have this problem on previous machine. I did everything like i did before. Now i watched 20 tutorials and i do the same thing.
Here is my bios:
From system info:
so i used arch-chroot instead of chroot and grub-install worked…
can you report
inxi -Fza
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
sudo parted -l
sudo efibootmgr -v
I’ve had partially similar problems with Windows updates on my laptop, after the update it booted directly to Windows. The update messed with the boot entries.
The fix was quite simple. With the USB installer stick I arch-chrooted to EndeavourOS install. Then
- I executed programs
grub-install
andgrub-mkconfig
with proper parameters for my system. - Changed the boot order back from BIOS/Firmware.
I assume the boot order of your system in under the OS Boot Manager entry in BIOS.
Hope this helps. Details may be somewhat different on your system though.
EDIT: the big question remains: UEFI or legacy BIOS, on many levels.
Are
- Windows
- EndeavourOS
installed in UEFI or legacy BIOS mode?
And what mode is supported by your hardware?
I do notice your UEFI Bios version is F.18 dated 2021. You have a newer HP laptop with 5700U processor. I am 100% sure there are updated versions of the UEFI Firmware (Bios) but i can’t look it up as i need the exact model and sometimes serial number in order to access that info on the HP site. I would suggest while booted in Windows you go to the HP site and find the latest update.
I am also interested in knowing exactly how you installed EndeavourOS on the drive with Windows. I have a number of dual boot Windows EndeavourOS and i don’t seem to run into this issue. It would be helpful if you can post the commands that @Stephane asked above.
This is how you acquire knowledge the hard way
Use instructions for the tool you are using. If you had read Archwiki, you would have known before it happens
If you are running a UEFI system you will also need access to EFI variables. Otherwise, when installing GRUB you will receive a message similar to:
UEFI variables not supported on this machine
:
# mount --rbind /sys/firmware/efi/efivars sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
The other solution is to use assistant utilities, like archroot
in this case.
Ooo, yeah will check for Bios update. Regarding my installation steps:
- Disabled Secure boot and hibernation.
- Partitioned disk.
- Booted endvos pendrive
- Installation started
- Picked manual disk assignment.
- Edited partition FAT32 partition, picked KEEP option and mount point: /boot/efi
- Created new root, home and swap partition.
- Continued installation
Right now to repair boot after windows breaks it i do:
- Mount / to /mnt
- Mount ESP to /mnt/boot/efi
- arch-chroot

Windows keeps overwriting bootloader but at least im able to repair it with grub-install now.
Usually, you don’t need to re-install grub. You should try setting the boot order, if an entry exists for EnOS. If there is no entry, create one. The files/folders should exist on ESP partition.
Please, confirm this can be a solution, as there is an unneeded panic for this. Re-installing grub (if it is not required) is different from creating a UEFI entry without chroot.
Can’t set it if it shows only one thing - it’s either Windows or Grub. I have no idea how to create entry.
I don’t know what you mean.
Let me use different description (I am no native English).
If the topic issue happens again, then
- Boot to an EnOS Live ISO, in UEFI mode
- Start a terminal and run
efibootmgr -v
- If there is an entry labeled Grub, or EnOS, you can set that one as first in order, using
efibootbgr -o <order,list>
- If there is only WinOS, you can create a new entry, using
efibootmgr <parameters>
, which normally is set first in order.
That’s a first for me .
You should check for an updated BIOS, and/or report to the Vendor. It’s a terrible UEFI implementation.
Archwiki to the rescue. It has every possible example for this.
see this one
- check before that /boot/efi is mounted
- do ls /boot/efi/EFI/* for find name Endevouros
under chroot , it should be
efibootmgr --verbose --create --disk=/dev/nvme0n1 --part=1 --label=“Endevouros” --loader="\EFI\Endevouros\grubx64.efi"
@Esgath
Hopefully you update the Bios first since you are booting in Windows. Then use arch-chroot and fix the problem as have been instructed.
Edit: As i posted earlier make sure that secure boot is disabled and also CSM. On Windows fast start up feature should be turned off in power management.
