I recently reinstalled arch but I have a problem with efi partition, user can acces it and the fstab is fucked up

I have tried modifying and regenerating fstab but it dosen’t work. Also grub can’t be accessed when I’m booted, nor does grub theme. How to I fix this?
idk mybe your drive is fucked up so you should try a new one. also did you use fdisk or the graphical one ? and did you generate a new gpt/mbr tab ?
I solved it somewhat. There’s only two entries in fstab now but for some reason the efi partition still gets automatically mounted and the grub theme dosen’t work
- I think so, it ships with arch, right?
- I had it mounted in more places. First on /boot then in /grub and now it’s in /efi.
- The grub.cfg config has always been in the same folder but I’ll check it to make sure.
When I had an /efi mount just as arch said on wiki I didn’t have problems. /boot stayed with root system, so it can be booted with efi or mbr.
If you have 2+ disks and one has mbr the other is gpt you can boot from either bootloader.
You should also try limine, less headaches than grub.
I have windows with broken efi partition on another disk but that’s not important, or is it?
If you have installed grub into that other efi then you may have the two, and you are customizing one and it boots another. You can use refind or hit F12 (or whatever it is in your mb) to select device and boot with other disk, see what it does. Usually linux os-prober is good at making an entry for windows booting too, but it would have been best to leave it alone.
Your windows system may be fine, it just needs the efi fixed or carried by grub.Dosen’t work. At first the partition was dirty no I managed to run chxdisk(or whatever its called) and can mount it without hassle but it still dosen’t appear in boot menu. I think there’s something wrong with grub.cfg since the theme is not displaying but I don’t know how to solve it
Have you tried/installed nvme-cli and/or xnvme
I wonder if your issues come from buggy nvme modules
No that wasn’t the problem. I should edit it as solved. What I did was delete the partitions and regenerate mkinicpio, delete all arguments and some grub configs. The efi partition still gets mounted but at least I need root privileges to modify and that’s good enough
reinstall arch without using archinstall maybe
I tried using archinstall but I got errors so I did it manually
expected
Expected me using it or getting errors?
both
Aha. If I modify them manually, what configs do I need to change?
