Cant boot into Garuda after installing it

Issues & Assistance Newbies

I installed garuda(Garuda KDE Dr60nized) with the usb (garuda downloader+etcher), it installed without any problems, but after rebooting it just boots into the usb again. If i disconnect the usb then the system doesnt find any bootable devices.

I’m using a dell xps 15 9570, secure boot is turned off, fast boot is set to thorough(i cant set it “off”), i set the bootloader to uefi,SATA to AHCI.

I looked for an similar problems, the only one i found was this(After the instalation of Garuda KDE Dr460nized i cant boot the OS) but the dude just changed machine.

Thanks in advance

  1. Please post your garuda-inxi from live ISO as per template
  2. Try to update your BIOS I have seen this problem before and it was solved with BIOS updates.

‘Sounds’ from your description like the bootloader may not have been installed, or installed in the wrong place. Was the ISO current? Are you going with the installation defaults?

You’re making the right selections in your BIOS but, like @NaN said, there are probably updates for it. Dell is pretty good about that. That’s all I buy and all I’ve used Linux on going back years.

Just finished updating the bios with the latest version i could find that supports my machine(1.27.0). Nothing changed, i still cant seem to load the os at startup, also the iso i downladed is the latest(dowloaded yesterday evening)

Hmm can you share the output of

lsblk -f

because according to your inxi it seems you haven’t installed the system at all? The drive is blank and empty. There are no partitions… :thinking: Can you try running calamares (the installer) once again?

Hey thank you for the advice, i tried running the installer again and it worked! Maybe it worked now because of the updated bios…
Anyway the system was actually installed because when i was formatting the ssd during the installation it said it had partitioned the ssd to garuda linux and swap.
Also it froze 2 times while loading Garuda, it got stuck showing:

Booting 'Garuda Linux'
Loading Linux linux-zen ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

Thank you for the help!
