Problem when trying to install Arch Linux on UEFI / EFI
by Luckylin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56EJV)
Good morning everyone.
The problem I'm trying to solve is the following: I have an MSI PRO H110 card, with an SSD. This card works with UEFI / Legacy and has a sector in the bios that configures "win 10, 8.1, 7, and that secure boot". Until then, I normally use Arch and Slackware on this computer (in Legacy / MBR), without problems. However, when trying to prepare an installation of these distributions in UEFI / EFI / GPT the difficulty begins. I can make Bios boot to a pendrive to install Arch (EFI), and I even install all the base sites, until the moment to restart it, after placing GRUB (correctly, in the / boot / efi / partition) EFI). The computer does not recognize the installed system. The same occurs when I try to reverse the installation order (Slackware first). However, when testing to install a Linux Mint, the media recognizes Arch. Mint can be installed until the end, in dual boot with Arch, and makes itself recognized in Bios (OS "ubuntu). It is strange. The strange thing is that I recently put Arch and Slackware in a laptop. UEFI / GPT) dual boot without problems. On the initial installation of Arch, when restarting, the computer recognized it and entered Grub, to be able to proceed with the rest. I read on a website that an update of Bios, of this MSI Pro H110, it would help, but I'm not inclined to do this without first making sure I'm not letting go of anything.
If anyone has a light to put on this problem, I would be grateful. :)
