Same error again after reinstall

Edit

Bootship is just the label
Rootship is also just the label

U can add label whatever you like

23

you can’t boot it after install?

24

Those settings look fine to me, assuming you did not touch the encryption settings.

That “boot partition” is not called boot partiton by the way, but EFI system partition.

25

yeah
u are right damian

26

Please check your motherboard/BIOS settings and choose the device where you installed the bootloader for booting. Also disable secure boot.

Just installed arch from https://archlinuxgui.in/ and its working fine

So my system configuration is fine,
I installed vanilla arch with above settings, and its working perfectly

May u should check your iso, try to replicate the problem with above settings

I must say really disappointed with rebornos
I had tried may distros and never had problems while installing,

With half backed product you are not welcoming new user,
May be thats why rebornos is not popular

Just an opinion
I am sorry :pensive:
If i hurt anyone s feeling here

Thanx

Hi @Dhaval,

Thanks for reporting. You have not hurt any feelings :slightly_smiling_face:. This problem does not usually occur among users. If the issue has some hardware-specific or configuration-specific causes, it would help for us to know, so that we can test from our side and prevent it from happening.

Would you be able to specify the motherboard’s model, your partition table type (GPT or MBR - Master Boot Record), whether you have UEFI enabled, and how many disks and bootloaders were installed? Also, do you use BTRFS, or have a RAID setup? If we are able to recreate a similar setup, we can test and fix problems. Right now, we’re in the dark about what went wrong with your install. You’re welcome to stay around and help troubleshoot, or just to read posts!

Fedora
Popos
Manjaro
Endeavouros
ZorinOS
Arch

All installed perfectly, worked well

Thanks for providing this information. We’ll try testing on BTRFS under similar conditions. We’re exploring the Calamares installer too…

totaly support this, there are many things to consider prior installing, like BIOS boot settings, mbr or gpt format,
also file system, to the last one there was some trouble with btrfs-boot lately, but sure every above
settings need to be set right.
I am using RebornOs as main system, and I am impressed, also with the work the team has put into it, meaning the wide resources this OS offers.

33

That will b cool, may i know when will your iso will release?

@ycom1 its gpt

35

Since RebornOS is rolling release, the ISO releases usually happen when there is a fix or patch.

In order to directly address your problem, if you can access and save (perhaps upload somewhere) the below file after install (from within the live ISO)

/var/log/cnchi/cnchi.log

we could single out the problem. It is the log file for the installer. If you are planning to try installing a second time, this log is very helpful information. It may even be possible to run a command or two in a chrooted environment as a workaround specific to the potential issue.

36

Any progress? or the issue still persits?

37

@Dhaval Apart from the logs I mentioned above, do you remember where you selected to install the bootloader? Was it on the local hard drive? We’ve had a similar situation happen to someone else and they had accidentally chosen the USB drive to install the bootloader. Not saying this is the cause, but it is one possibility

38

do not know if it is still relevant, just for technical clearing:

image

there is abs. no boot-flag,

and we do not now if the bios is set to uefi boot, and which
boot priority the harddrives got. Did I get this right ? : - )

@ycom1 Thanks for catching that. I forgot to look back at the older messages.

Tagging @Dhaval so that they can see your message.

@Dhaval
On your screenshot (#20) it looks like you are using an intel dekstop board. Please disable UEFI in yor BIOS for a new test installation. Based on my own tests with an intel dekstop board + RebornOS, I am very sure that it will work. :wink:

My Test-Config was:

  • Intel-Desktop-Board
  • Corei3 IvyBridge
  • SATA3 SSD (120GB) AHCI-Mode
  • BIOS/MBR Boot (UEFI-boot disabled via BIOS)

In general, it should be said that the intel desktop boards have all been on the market for around 10 years, received no further BIOS updates and at that time it was also common for the system to boot in classic BIOS/MBR.
