No Booting after install
severnside-droid opened this issue · 7 comments
I have installed Clear Linux ( I am dual booting) , I followed the instructions " Dual-boot Clear Linux* OS with Any GRUB-based Linux* Distro " and used Method 2: Use GRUB to Boot Clear Linux OS.
On booting and selecting Clear Linux I get this " error’ EFI/org.clearlinux/bootloaderx64.efi’ not found "
@dorileo can you check if the docs are correct here, or need updating? And maybe poke the docs team in case it needs updating
@severnside-droid - What's the other Linux distro (and version) you're trying to dual-boot Clear Linux with? I want to see if I can reproduce the issue you're experiencing.
The other Linux distro is MX 19.1
@severnside-droid - I tested MX 19.1 with Clear 32340 using the instruction on https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/tutorials/multi-boot/dual-boot-linux.html# and using Method #2 - Use GRUB to Boot Clear Linux OS.
It works without any issue.
Did you set the proper "root" UUID (based on the result of blkid) value for /etc/grub.d/40_custom?
My last attempt at installing Clear Linux was by safe method on the remaining free space as previous attempts had failed.
Please see output of /etc/grub.d , pointing to device sda/5
it should match with the disk in output attached
I did a fresh installation of MX and telling the installer to "Auto-install using entire disk", with "Leave free space up to" and left enough space for Clear Linux (minimum of ~22GB). I told it to install GRUB and set location to "ESP". After MX was done, I installed Clear Linux using the "Safe installation" method. Then I add Clear to GRUB's boot menu per the instruction in the document. I didn't run into any issue.
Here's what my partitions look like:
$ sudo blkid

Is doing a fresh installation of MX and then Clear an option for you? I see a lot of different partitions from your screenshot. Might be easier to start fresh, if possible.
Thanks for all your help. Maybe in the future I will either put another disk in the system and just use it for Clear Linux.
