Re: [arch-general] Grub-efi install issue

Aaa,  Thanks.  I managed to get it installed and configured, but while 
the system booted I had no speech.  I saw another thread on this and 
someone thought it was an orca problem, but not sure as this was a basic 
arch system.  I did havew antergoes installed to another vm and also had 
no speech so could be releated.   Thanks again.  I will mess with this a 
bit more as it seems the efi partition needs to be mount twice onece 
before installing all packages and then mounted to the installed system 
while in arch-chroot.

Hi all,


I am trying to install arch to a efi system and got as far as the
configure the packages but grub install is whare I am stuck. First off,
in the wiki it says to mount the efi partition, but it doesn't say whare
to mount it to.  Secondly, I run the following to install grub-install
--target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/dev/sda1 --bootloader-id=GRUB and
get the following error. something about unable to get the udev.  What
am I missing?  Would something rong?  The wiki artical s a bit confusing.


Thanks.

The EFI partition is usually mounted to /boot on arch systems,
although /boot/efi is another common place.

The grub wiki page says "substitute esp with its mount point".
/dev/sda1 is the device, not the mount point.
