Hello! I’m trying to install Manjaro on my Razer Blade 15 (2020) and it seems that the firmware can’t detect my /boot/efi partition. First I tried installing it using the graphical interface, then I used fdisk
and efibootmgr
to manually set things up but nothing changed.
parted -l

This is my fstab:

I tried manually installing grub by doing grub-install --recheck --no-rs-codes --modules="part_gpt part_msdos zstd" --efi-directory="/boot/efi" --target="x86_64-efi"
but that didn’t work. It changes the efibootmgr -v
output to HD(1,GPT,58f200b9-7c3d-1f45-92e2-4e50a50b4cc6,0x800,0x100000)/File(\EFI\manjaro\grubx64.efi)
instead of the VenHw
thing. But it still does not detect it and when I boot back into the live-usb it resets back to it’s original entry.
-
test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
checks out ok. - Secure boot is disabled
- Fast boot is disabled
- CSM is disabled
I’m not a noob at this. I no problem installing Manjaro on my desktop like 6 months ago. That being said I’m not the biggest expert either, so I’d love to get some help. Thanks.
