grub won't install - install artix-base-openrc on kvm

not my first arch/artix install... Just don't know how to bootloader in a kvm guest I guess...

https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Installation

neither of the grub-install commands documented in the above link are functional

not sure what to do

I think nobody understand your problem because you gave us no relevant infos. Put here complete output from terminal when you want install grub, that we can view your problem. Thanks....

See https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html too

I have same issues with artix-openrc install in virt-manager, when i just grub-install in /boot/efi

I have error efibootmgr.

Code: [Select]
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory
New in Artix Linux and OpenRC

i guess, your missing /boot/efi partition (I'm just guessing, because you didn't bother to supply relevant information) :(
 boot partition and efi partition are two different things. Read the wiki and try again. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#UEFI_systems

If additional information is needed, I'd be glad to provide it.

Tell me what you want to know.

The relevant info is that Artix cannot be installed on KVM because grub fails by all methods documented.

missing /boot/efi partition

I have no idea if EFI is required, because I have no idea if KVM is emulating EFI or not. I attempted to install grub by legacy and EFI methods, both fail.

There is no explanation in the KVM documentation, the Arch/Artix documentation, or the grub documentation.

SUGGESTION: For all of the varied installation media available, why not distribute a base-KVM container/image, too?

NOTE: Booting the QEMU/KVM from the base install .iso file works, but is amazingly slow... VirtualBox is lightning fast. Soemthing is clearly wrong.
