Missing boot entry

Issues & Assistance Unsupported hardware | Dual boot
1

Hello Garuda users.

[System info]
I am facing an issue with my boot entry I have 3 OS In my system :
1)Ubuntu 2 )Garuda 3)Arch

and I have 2 kernels in my garuda, arch and ubuntu :
1)Linux
2)linux-zen

and I installed them in the following order :
sda1: grub (boot/EFI)
sda2: Ubantu (/)
sda3: Garuda (/)
sda4: Arch (/)
sda5: storage (BTRFS)
sda6: swap (Linux swap)

[Problem]
So the main problem is I am unable to get all the entries in the same boot loader

  1. I have Ubuntu and Garuda in my boot menu but Arch is not registered
  2. I don't see any entry for changing my kernel in the boot menu

[Things I had tried]

yes I tried to update-grub with the following command but it doesn't fix it :
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub-btrfs.cfg
sudo update-grub

[Summary ]
I want to add all my os and all the kernel listed in grub like:
garuda Linux
garuda Linux-zen
Ubuntu
ubuntu Linux-zen
Arch Linux
Arch Linux-zen

2

Please post the output of garuda-inxi as required by the issue template.

Please also post the output of ls -la /boot/efi/EFI/ (run with sudo or as root).

Also, make sure your sda4 partition is mounted in Garuda before trying to run sudo update-grub.

garuda (main grub)
= (arch)
Ubuntu
Gadura (don't work)

Can you explain what you mean when you say “it don’t work”? Is something preventing you from mounting the partition?

10

I had mount the partition and update-grub but it don't fix my problem it still the same

11

This is an odd name for a boot entry to have. I don’t know that it would be a problem necessarily, but I am not sure.

Try this:

  • Boot to your Arch installation and update Grub (sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg). Paste the input and output into the thread.
  • Boot back to Garuda.
  • Mount p4.
  • Update Grub (sudo update-grub). Paste the input and output into the thread.

Can you check if the lsb-release package is installed in your Arch install? If not, install it:

sudo pacman -S lsb-release

Then try again, mounting p4 and updating Grub from Garuda.
