Thank you very much (:

Hi there, sorry for the late response - I was asleep (different timezones, I guess).

menuentry 'Arch Linux' should be menuentry "Arch Linux" because the lexer doesn't handle single quoted strings which means that the parser ends up receiving unexpected tokens as its input.
These strings should probably be handled by this tool, though, as rEFInd obviously handles them just fine.

Once you fix that you'll definitely run into this issue for which also exists a simple workaround.

Thank for your reply, I got this issue resolved by "", also the next initrd issue as well (:

But now I seem to have another one, Could not find a boot stanza matched with the root partition!

Try checking whether root=UUID=8e77f93a-a048-41b4-878e-c9675ea77193 really is matched with you / partition (by using lsblk, findmnt or some other tool).

The boot stanza matching requirements are described here (last bullet).

EDIT: Oh, I see why your "Arch Linux" boot stanza is ignored... It's missing the "volume" option which causes this method to return False.

I have been booting the entry without any errors. I checked once again anyway, Yes it is

The boot stanza matching requirements are described here (last bullet).

So, I added volume, volume ARCH. Now, the command is successfully executed.

Thanks once again ♥

No problem. :+1:
