Installed Arch Linux on my desktop machine. | |
* I had some issues with the bootloader installation, since I was used to boot without UEFI mode, so I needed to just install a simple bootloader after | |
the installation finished, instead of GRUB. | |
* The additional steps for this were: | |
* Instead of the usual ext2 partition of 100M I created a 200M partition | |
* formatted it with fat32 and also selecting with cfdisk EFI System, for the system to recognise it. | |
* Later to install the bootloader, I just did an bootctl install and later added the following to /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf | |
title Arch Linux | |
linux /vmlinuz-linux | |
initrd /initramfs-linux.img | |
options root=/dev/<partition> rw | |
replacing <partition> for the root partition. | |
Another thing I noticed is that the included SSD had a different naming and was not sdX, but /dev/nvme0n1 so all the partitions where: | |
* /dev/nvme0n1p1 | |
* /dev/nvme0n1p2 | |
* /dev/nvme0n1p3 | |
I couldn't start all the process regarding the email and so, because the password was not working, but it give me time to finishing up all the post-install on my desktop, and at least everything is working as planned. |
