Bootloader installation on NVMe not possible #1

Open defkev opened 8 years ago

defkev commented 8 years ago

Since RC1 it's possible to install Apricity on a NVMe drive, yet installation of the bootloader on NVMe still doesn't work.

The installer will default to the Thumbdrive used for installation at /dev/sda in my case, which of course ultimatly fails with a:

Boost.Python error in job "bootloader"

will executing

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Apricity --force

Trying to manually run grub-install on /dev/nvme0n1 also fails which is imho a limitation of the version of grub currently shipped with arch, at least according to a post at bbs.archlinux.org (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1609817#p1609817)

Manually setting up systemd-boot works.

I really want to get Apricity installed, I've been fighting with this NVMe drive for far too long.

Would you mind sharing how you manually set up systemd-boot? I think you would be helping a lot of people with that info. The arch wiki page isn't particularly descriptive, unfortunately.

NVMe drives are now supported, at least in dev versions of Apricity.
