Yesterday 25.6.2026 I reinstalled Manjaro as 1st OS into efi multiboot laptop with manual partitioning: I made 3 partitions: sda1 fat32 /boot/efi, sda2 ext4 /root and sda3 ex4 /home with luks passphrase. Post-installation update installed kernel 6.18.33-1. Manjaro booted normally, i.e. asking /home …

There has been no changes to how the installer works. But there has been changes to how mkinitcpio-openswap hook is configured but that is a long time ago. When you are doing manual partitioning during installation, some scenarios is likely to require manual configuration. As I understand the iss…

@linux-aarhus Thank you very much for your reply and advises. Your question about this combination: My goal is to keep Manjaro as the 1st OS in this multiboot efi laptop and boot other OS’s from the grub menu of Manjaro. Swap partition is common for all installed OS’s. Background: When I encrypted …

Multi boot creates all kinds of weird issues so: Beware of the dragons. sharing swap - bad idea - if you must you should definitely not use hibernate better create a swap file instead You can install Manjaro encrypted without having to reinstall it when you install dual boot systems. The only re…

If you keep this layout for now, I would check the simple bits before reinstalling: verify /etc/crypttab has only one entry for the home LUKS UUID, then rebuild initramfs after any edit with sudo mkinitcpio -P. A duplicated UUID between crypttab/fstab and an old initramfs can easily look like ‘asked…

@linux-aarhus Thank you for your kind reply and attachment ! About my swap solution: I don’t use hibernate. I’ve used swapfile’s in efi laptop singe boot installations and efi desktop multiboot installations whenever it is enabled by OS. With efi ‘multiboot’ laptop I mean Manjaro + several other L…

[image] pelka: Therefore, I would like to ask your team to check what creates the difference in this topic between Manjaro vs. Arch Linux/CachyOS. The scenario you describe is beyond a normal usecase. How you decide to use your system - that is your freedom. As for investigating why your sp…

Why is 3 OS in multiboot required? And on more than one PC… I can understand dual booting to windows for some requirements, but you are doing multiboot to different linux based OS… If having separated workspaces is the goal, you can do multiple users on same OS. If really need different OS, for …

@pelka Please verify your Manjaro system’s configuration files. I am fairly certain this is a local configuration issue. Your configuration files for your Manjaro system should look somewhat similar to this example from a test installation. Your uuids and file-systems may differ but you should g…

@linux-aarhus Thank you very much for your testing and explanation of the consequences and possible problems involved with efi installations. For avoiding those problems I you indicated I’ll reinstall my system again. Additional Linuxes (C, D, …etc) I’ll install on external USB’s for demonstrating …
