linux mint is normally visible from grub menu
also with sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
everything is fine and endos is visible in output, command completes without any errors

can anyone help me?

gampel · December 3, 2024, 3:04pm

Pls, what is the result “efibootmgr” ?

Have you got used terminal or Garuda Boot Options ?

As fastet option you have (my mind)
go /etc/grub.d/
insert in the file 40_custom your endeavour
how…take a look there

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/drmalex07/e9c44b9760b19c6211bc

README-custom-grub2-menu.md

The auto-generated (during OS installation) menu entries are placed at `/boot/grub/grub.cfg`. These entries can be used as a starting point for creating new menu entries. Roughly, the process is as follows:

Edit `/etc/grub.d/40_custom` and provide your menu entries. For example, say we want to provide an alternative way to initialize our debian system via `systemd`:

```
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

This file has been truncated. show original

( think on your uuid )

what`s going on inside LinuxMint
Grub find your endeavour ?

and then also

i have started os-prober on linux mint, but there was no output at all

so it didn’t see any distro i guess

You mixed

with

Boot garuda and install and update grub on

You can try also custom.cfg in /boot/grub
for grub or systemd boot

wilk85 · December 4, 2024, 12:43pm

i did the update-grub on garuda but that isn’t helping, it cannot find endeavour os on grub menu, i need to do a custom menu entry, which is not working, because some files like vmlinuz are missing, need to move them to proper place i guess

because i have found vmlinuz file in /usr/lib/modules/arch6-12

I think thats an issue with endeavour os itself

wilk85 · December 4, 2024, 1:18pm

Thank you for your help guys, i have resolved it finally bymyself
Right now i can boot from garuda grub menu endeavour os

steps which i did

In endeavour os in /boot directory, there was no vmlinuz-linux file, also missing were initramfs files.

I have copied vmlinuz file from endeavour os /usr/lib/modules/arch6-12/vmlinuz to /boot/vmlinuz-linux
sudo pacman -S mkinitcpio had to remove dracut package because it was in conflict,
mkinitcpio -P
sudo pacman -S linux which generated all needed files
removed entry from /etc/grub.d/40_custom
boot into garuda update-grub

That resolved issues, and learned something new

That’s because these files are stored on the EFI partition when using systemd-boot. The files you copied over will not be used by systemd-boot in any way.

You probably should not have done this. Beware /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is only stock, with no considerations for modules or hooks. Probably you will no longer be able to boot to your Btrfs snapshots once they inherit this change.

To regenerate the initrds with dracut, we have this script:

sudo dracut-rebuild

I think you should have taken the advice to create a custom boot stanza, to chainload systemd-boot from GRUB. I don’t think it will be long before the configuration you have described becomes broken.

I do not have btrfs on endeavour os, ext4 fs there, do not care much on that system. I didnt do much configurations there, and most of already configured things i will script

I think it doesnt matter if these files will be used by systemd boot or not, because boot is managed by garuda grub
Or maybe im wrong here

Also i was checking efi partitions and these files werent present

If that solution get broken i will fix it with your suggested steps
