Hello, I downloaded Manjaro XFCE and I tried to install it using GPT partition table and with Manjaro as the sole OS on my Notebook.
Notebook Specs:
Samsung RV-511
Intel P6200
4GB RAM DDR3
Anyways, here are the pictures of my partition table and also the error output.
APPARENTLY I CAN’T POST ANYTHING NEITHER MULTIMEDIA NOR LINKS SO SORRY.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks.
I do have this same error as someone else’s in the forum:
Installation Failed
Boost.Python error in job “bootloader”.
Command 'grub-install -target-x86_64-efi -efi-directory-/boot/efi -bootloader-id-Manjaro -force
returned non-zero exit status 1.

Please consider that the first two partitions (namely /boot/efi and /boot) were an attempt to make it work, it didnt.
I also tried with the correct “boot” flags, one single partition, etc.
Should I just Give up?
Or I can install Manjaro as an MSDOS partition?
I can live with it being msdos and not UEFI.
there is missing flag on /boot/efi for Boot& esp ( add with Gparted from USB iso manjaro )
in case of /boot also it required boot&esp
difference between /boot/efi and /boot
in case of /boot/efi only grub & config grub are installed ( less than 2% for 100Mo partition )
in case of /boot grub & config grub , also all kernels img & initrd & microcode are inside ,
as we can add many kernels , its should more than 512 to 768 Mo
in your UEFI motherboard
disable secure boot
disable fast boot
disks on AHCI
no legacy
no CSM
UEFI only or others ( not windows )
you should see
UEFI < USB vendor name > < partition 1 > → boot in EFI
you can check in terminal , after boot USB iso manjaro
inxi -Mxa ( check for UEFI only , not UEFI[legacy] or Bios )
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
Hello stephane, Thanks for your reply.
Sadly Manjaro doesn’t work with my computer, final decision.
I won’t pursue manjaro anymore, plenty of fish.
Have a nice day.
