Can't boot after installing Artix

26 February 2025, 17:35:55

Hi all,

I'm new to Artix, and these past few days I've been trying to use Artix, but I can't boot into the system.
I can install it without any problems, I tried these 2 images so far:

artix-lxde-dinit-20240823-x86_64.iso
artix-lxde-runit-20240823-x86_64.iso

And both images install without problems, I always opt for Erasing the full disk, enable disk encription and BRTFS file system.

When I try to boot my computer, after typing my encription password, it shows the GRUB menu.
When I press Enter (or leave it to automatically enter for me), it shows this error:

Code: [Select]

Booting 'Artix Linux'

Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: start_image() returned 0x8000000000000001

  Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.

Press any key to continue ...

I tried installing using the offline mode, online mode, but it always gives me this error when booting after install.

I think calamares breaks with brtfs. It did with me.

Hmm thanks for letting me know, I only tried with BTRFS, I'll try EXT4 and I'll update here.

Indeed the problem was BTRFS, I tried with EXT4 and everything worked flawlessly.

I have had the same problem when trying to install with btrfs.

I don't think the problem is with calamares as I successfully installed archcraft distro with btrfs using calamares to test that. It seems the problem is with Artix? Just my guess, I am no expert!
