https://bbs.archlinux.org – You have 2 ways:1. Either convert your disk to GPT and make Windows boot via UEFI (reinstall its bootloader) - https://gitorious.org/tianocore_uefi_du … OS_to_UEFI2. Or create a UEFISYS partition in your current MBR based disk (512 MiB FAT32 0xef fdisk type code), mount it to /boot/efi (or use it as your /boot itself if you prefer) and install the bootloader (and the kernel/initramfs if you are using efistub) - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … oned_disksAs @WonderWoofy indirectly said, you may have to change boot mode to UEFI or BIOS everytime you want to boot into linux after boo (HowTos)

LVM Volume Groups Not Found 40 weeks 5 days ago

Hi,I'm installing Arch on my desktop following the installation in the software raid and LVM section (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So … ID_and_LVM). I'm using RAID1. I've followed the important instructions on the LVM page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LVM#Important).

I just installed Arch on my UX31A.  It ended up taking a few more hours than it should have, but it works.To be honest, I didn't even try following the UX31A-specific wiki page; your posts here sent me off on a hunt to boot from a flash drive in UEFI mode, which led me to the method I'll outline here:I downloaded the latest archboot iso from:http://server4.surlyjake.com/archlinux/ …

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

Trouble with UEFI Vaio 15 weeks 5 days ago

Hi,I've been struggling with arch and the UEFI laptop.  In legacy mode on my laptop, it just complains that there's no OS found in all the cases I've examined.  So, I decided to leave it in UEFI mode, which gives the added bonus of being able to boot Win8 if I should ever need it.So, I've followed these instructions:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … _USB_drive

- Mount the root partition on /mnt.- Mount the boot partition (if you have one) on /mnt/boot.- Run "arch-chroot /mnt", and proceed with the instructions from the Beginner's Guide for whichever bootloader you want:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloaderYou're welcome.

Been going at this all night.  I just used UEFI shell v2 to add a boot entry for Arch Linux that points to: \EFI\arch\vmlinuz-arch.efiWhen I choose this option I just get a blank screen and then the computer does nothing else.Could it be the vmlinuz-arch.efi file?    The vmlinuz-arch.efi file originates from /boot/vmlinuz-linux by following the directions located here: https://wiki.
