UEFI doesn't recognize Arch Linux installation.
UEFI doesn't recognize Arch Linux installation.
Recently you installed Arch Linux and when you boot the PC, you need to access the UEFI settings to choose the boot drive, but it doesn't display the boot priority. Is there a way to make it appear?
Switch to legacy mode, it seems the system isn't UEFI compatible. It's likely in the BIOS settings.
The distro, yes, but that's not enough. I assume it's a bootable usb we are talking about and most tools allow you to create a bootable usb without UEFI support so it's possible that's the case here.
Do you have a dual boot setup? If yes: From Windows 8 in UEFI mode, the system will hide Linux Boot and place itself at the top. I really dislike Microsoft for that. You can still use efibootmgr on Linux or EasyUEFI on Windows to define the correct Boot-Disk. Also, some UEFI-Bios are quite limited—they won’t accept multiple EFI directories on one partition and will revert to the Windows EFI file by default. In such cases, you’ll need to create a separate EFI Boot entry using EasyUEFI. It functions with efibootmgr too, but it’s quite complex.
