Minimal Arch install script - EFI/GPT gummiboot with LUKS

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Might be of use to others, this is a stripped down non interactive install script for a single disk, three partition, encrypted root & swap install. It uses gummiboot from AUR.I've been working on using the gummiboot in extra but haven't had success getting it to function, yet.https://github.com/altercation/archstone(Also, I'm working on unifying the install process so that you don't need to manually arch-chroot. Later on that.) altercation https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=48832 2012-09-20T08:06:26Z (HowTos)

Off the top of my head, are you sure that your drive is still identified as /dev/sda post-reboot? That can change. I prefer to use drive/partition labels (you could use UUIDs as well).

Personally I would use gummiboot instead, but if you really want to use grub then take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gr … ot_in_UEFI

I just saw this as well on the H. What's your color calibration workflow? I was assuming I'd just use Argyll. Working on migrating away from pure OSX for color managed graphics workflow.

Hi, i've set up gummiboot to boot without a timeout, on the arch entry conf. This works fine with a keyboard plugged in, but whenever I take the keyboard out and boot without the keyboard plugged in, Gummiboot seems to ignore the timeout, and puts me to a menu, waiting for input, which obviously I can't select cos there's no keyboard plugged in.

You use EFISTUB, but does that mean you are booting via a bootmanager (Gummiboot or rEFInd), or are you using a direct efibootmgr entry?I take it you have tried to use an efibootmgr entry, as otherwise I think it would be quite obvious if you made it to a boot manager...

Same laptop I've got! So 3.8 Kernel works? 3.7.9.2 works but 3.7.10.1 does not boot with me. I use rEFInd, but I don't think that matters. Can you install both rEFInd and gummiboot together? (I realize only one can be "actively" used as the boot loader, but can they "coexist"?)

I recently purchased an Aspire XC600, but am having trouble installing Arch. I haven't installed on UEFI before. I want Arch as the only OS on the disk.

I wrote the Archboot x86_64 image to a USB stick and booted from it successfully. The booting had to be done through a compatibility layer.

In the "Install Bootloader" step, I chose UEFI_x86_64, EFISTUB and GUMMIBOOT_UEFI.
