When your setting up Arch with a UEFI BIos motherboard its easier if you boot through the UEFI shell on a usb disk then through the install cd. It cleans up a lot of headaches. Read the post below to find out how.https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148155

Of course you can edit the grub.cfg manually. But you're probably looking for this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … ious_entryPS: If you miss GRUB Legacy, Syslinux is very similar: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloaderAnd don't forget to mark it as solved.

Hi.Since Arch has moved to the new install framework I haven't been able to install it in UEFI (non UEFI mode is fine...)The only way I have got a boot-able system with UEFI is to use the archboot .iso - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ArchbootI have to say just having a install .txt file isn't brilliant, for a start it refers to a partitioning section that should be a HTML link (bu
It varies on different manufacturer motherboards. I've got two recent ASRock mobos (different form factors) and the UEFI implementations on them are a bit different. The better one, recognizes UEFI on a USB stick and gives the option to boot it as BIOS or UEFI.

Thanks for the response. I originally thought you could only install a boot loader on a UEFI motherboard if your boot drive was using GPT, but from what I understand of your post this is not required and I can either install Arch Linux in UEFI mode with an ESP or in legacy mode without an ESP.

Hi and welcome to the forum.When you used the LiveCD, I presume you pressed Tab over "Boot existing OS" and edited the details. What did you use? "hd0 1"? Syslinux counts BIOS drives from zero and partitions from one.Make sure that the drive with Arch on it is the first to boot from the BIOS settings.

The iso supports both BIOS boot and UEFI boot. Some firmwares have issues booting the isos which support both. Only in such cases should the UEFI boot support be removed.In a similar way it is also possible to create a UEFI-only bootable iso, but neither archiso nor archboot are built that way.
