I've tried to install Arch-Linux on a computer a lot of times on an External Drive sdb. No matter what I do, the same error keeps re-appearing, and never booting. sdb2 is where arch-linux is installed, Filesystem is ext4.

I've looked at a ton of other posts (here, here, and here) and it seems that none of them have helped me so far.

I've searched the /boot directory using Grub-Rescue, and it seems that Grub actually reads the /boot Directory as Empty.

Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: I forgot, previously, to say my Computer is BIOS, not UEFI.

  • There is no boot mounted. the partition table is: /dev/sdb1 -- BIOS Filesystem /dev/sdb2 -- Linux Filesyste, – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:14
  • Is this better? – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:16
  • Ok i edited my recent question, Sorry I am new – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:21
  • Could you provide a link to the exact procedure you're using to install Arch? And the exact commands you use to install GRUB? When you see the error message, you'll probably see a grub rescue> prompt; if you type in set and press Enter, what values does it display for root and prefix? – telcoM Oct 05 '21 at 00:27
  • I am deciding not to edit my question atm but i'll just comment set cmdpath=(hd0) prefix=(hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub root=hd0,gpt I used a variety of sources to install this (The wiki was the first, and a few bits of a tutorial that used UEFI) – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:32
  • If root is indeed hd0,gpt, then try typing into the grub rescue> prompt: set root=hd0,gpt2, Enter, ls, Enter. Does it see the contents of your Linux partition now? (I've got to go to sleep; but I'll continue this tomorrow if nobody else will.) – telcoM Oct 05 '21 at 00:44
  • root is hd0,gpt2 small note. – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:47
  • I feel like that it might be somehow my installation-process. I'll retry the installation and record it – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 00:49
  • Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Oct 05 '21 at 08:27
  • i've tried so many times and it seems like i cant install it. I Think I'm about to give up – Shoibe Oct 05 '21 at 18:03
