So I have a problem with installing EndeavourOS:
https://termbin.com/dh1l
I have two SSDs:
- 500GiB with Windows
- 1000GiB with data and spare 150GiB reserved for EOS
I tried couple of partitioning approaches, but nothing seem to work. Latest attempt was using manual partitioning approach, because as described in this thread: Does Endeavour installer is trying to create EFI partition on my USB stick? - #6 by Gumaa , I encountered a bug in the installer, where automatic options like replacing a partition do not work and do not create EFI partition.
So I manually created two partitions:
- EFI partition fat32 with 1GiB, mounted to
/efi
and flagged asboot
- Root partition with ex4 with rest of the space, mounted to
/
and flagged asroot
But it didn’t work. I’m unable to pin point what is wrong looking at the logs.
There is this error:
ERROR: Error while running: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/tmp/calamares-root-1qb4ipel/efi/loader/loader.conf’
but also beforehand there is a warning:
WARNING: [PYTHON JOB]: “Failed to mount foreign EFI dir”
So maybe I did something wrong while partitioning?
Also installer as a whole seems really buggy. Often when I’m choosing partitioning type (eg. replace, alongside, manual) or when clicking on a partition to replace the whole installer just closes and I have to start from the scratch.
Btw, why EFI should be mounted to /efi
? Arch wiki is saying it should be /boot
. Is there some specific configuration needed for EOS? Also I saw in couple of places that people were saying it should be /boot/efi
? But maybe this information is outdated.
