Additional context
i suspect this may be an issue with the grub theme not being found, but im not sure why grub-mkconfig completely fails when doing this.
I've been doing some investigation, this might be an issue on BIOS systems specifically.
The same thing happened to me. When I tried to manually install and configure grub I got the error message
/usr/bin/grub/probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)
/dev is mounted, but I suspect that there is some problem with grub looking for /boot, when it should be looking for @/boot?
how are you regenerating the grub config? and how did you mount the installation?
hi, if you see an @ when you mount your drive, thats a btrfs subvolume. to mount the jade created btrfs subvolumes, you should run this command
sudo mount /dev/yourdriveletterhere -o subvol=@ /mnt
sudo mount /dev/yourdriveletterhere -o subvol=@home /mnt/home
@fries1234 I haven't tried your suggestion yet. It should have worked in my case, but I found that my issue stemmed from a broken grub config. So I went and completely deleted grub in order for the install to work. On a side note, I didn't know much about the btrfs filesystem - Thanks!
So, I attempted install 3 times, once with options: no zramd and no autosnapshots. second time: zramd and no autosnapshots, and the third was with the default (both on) and that was the only one that generated a grub config it seems. the first two booted into efi shell
