Hello,
I had a fine working system with grub, luks, btrfs and something came to me and I decided to switch systemd-boot from grub.
My initial disk partitions were three partitions for /boot (512M), /boot/efi (256MB), and a luks partition which is formatted with btrfs. After fiddling around I ended up deleting first ve second partitions and and combined them into one to able to use a single /boot mount point for systemd-boot. My current
nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 768M 0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3 259:2 0 237.7G 0 part
└─cryptroot 254:0 0 237.7G 0 crypt
I created new combined nvme0n1p1 partition with boot flag with fat32 filesystem.
I applied bootctl install. I have copied contents of the old boot directory into the new /boot directory except the old efi and grub related things.
The current file structure is as follows
tree /boot
/boot
|-- 2d3f1b9480f14e94abf8f2ffec257ac9

`-- vmlinuz-5.4-x86_64
I have modified loader.conf as follows.
default manjaro.conf
timeout 3
console-mode max
The created manjaro.conf file has the following contends
title Manjaro-Kernel-5.10
linux /vmlinuz-5.10-x86_64
initrd /intel-ucode.img
initrd /initramfs-5.10-x86_64.img

The changed portions of the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf is as follows
MODULES=(lz4 lz4_compress)
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block sd-encrypt lvm2 filesystems btrfs resume fsck)
MODULES=(lz4 lz4_compress)
I have rebuilded the images with mkinitcpio -P
During boot, I see the linux boot manager and manjaro selection, but I am not being asked password. After timeout I receive error messages.
Any help is much appreciated .
