Installation of systemd-boot fails because the EFI system partition (/boot
) file system format is not FAT based, instead it is Ext4. The ArchWiki states to format the EFI system partition to FAT32:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Format_the_partitions
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFI_system_partition#Format_the_partition
Validation for this condition could be added to Manual Partitioning rather than allowing the installation to run and crash at the boot loader install.
I hit this. It would have been nice if archinstall was smart enough to catch it. Or give a friendlier error message at any stage of the process.
We should be able to add this to the prerequisites validation in the menu as well as the sanity check when reading the conf before starting a installation :)
We can tackle that in the menu/config, I didn't find a way to actually capture the error message returned by bootctl
when running it with arch-chroot
as it will only return the exit code :/
Hmm, it should be in process._trace_log
I believe.
Attempting to dual boot with Windows 11 using the latest (sept 2023) Arch iso. Ran
pacman -Sy archinstall
beforearchinstall
.Manually created the following partitions:
300MB, mount point /boot, format ext4 remainder of the space (ca. 225GB), compressed, with the following subfolder structure: @, / @home, /home @log, /var/log @pkg, /var/cache/pacman/pkg @.snapshots, /@.snapshots install.log
