Once rebooted I had to upgrade to kernel 4.12 for the onboard wifi – enter root partition password when prompted Grub-install -target=x86_64-efi -efi-directory=/boot/efi -bootloader-id=blackarch -recheck # GRUB_CMD_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblo0p13:cryptohome root=/dev/mapper/cryptohome" # In order to unlock the encrypted root partition at boot, the following kernel parameter needs to be set by the boot loader: # uncomment the line GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true Tell grub not to use UUID (I always have issues with this) Go back to your chroot terminal and setup pacman Setup network – do this outside the chroot (in a new terminal window)
Mount the efi partition (mine is /dev/mmcblk0p12) Mount the boot partition (mine is /dev/mmcblk0p15) # but in this instance we need to mount the partition directly for grub # usually you would do: mount /dev/mapper/crypthome /mnt/crypthome I had to boot into the live usb again and do the following: I didnt get an efi boot option for black arch on reboot I opted to keep android, but I removed the windows partitions to put arch on instead – creating a dual boot android / blackarch config
Select option 4 to install from a repo įollow the rest of the instructions (or use the guide here: )įor the network setup, I had to plug in a usb adaptor Setup your wifi connection using wifi-menu (I can never get my usb adaptor to work with wicd) You will notice the screen needs rotated open a terminal, type: Plug into chuwi and boot – Press F7 while booting to get boot optionsīoot into blackarch live – Select the first entry blackarch will boot (You’ll see all the startup info on the screen) Write to a usb drive (I used Etcher to do this part)
