    • RE: Dual boot arch | recalbox

      Hi again,

      i solved my probleme, i was coming from my swap partition.
      As explained here, recalbox expect to have 3 partitions : / in the middle, /boot first, and /share last (). So with my swap partition, boot was not mounted and recalbox-boot.conf not available of course.

      So here is my new setup

      sda (ssd)
      sda1 500M BOOT
      sda2 5G RECALBOX
      sda4 55G archlinux
      
      sdb (hd)
      sdb1 500G SHARE
      

      the systemd-boot entrie for recalbox

      title recalbox
      linux /bzImage
      initrd /initrd.gz
      options root=UUID=[UUID] rw label=RECALBOX
      

      and my /boot/recalbox-boot.conf

      sharedevice=DEV [UUID]
      sharewait=30
      

      every thing is running well now, with no hack at all

    • Dual boot arch | recalbox

      Hi,

      I'm new with recalbox but not with linux. i'm trying to installe recalbox in dual boot with archlinux booting with systemd-boot.
      I have a few questions and i wanted to know what you think about it, if it will stand on the long run.

      The box is a vorke v1 with a 64Go ssd and a 500Go hd
      I installed the systems on the ssd, and used the hd as storage for roms

      Partitionning (labels are important) :

      sda (ssd)
      sda1 500M BOOT
      sda2 4G swap
      sda3 20G RECALBOX
      sda4 35G archlinux

      sdb (hd)
      sdb1 500G DATA

      First I installed archlinux as usual, mounting the boot partition in /boot and installing systemd-boot as bootloader (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-boot)

      Then i flashed an usbkey with the recalbox x86_64 img, pluged it in the vorke (sdc), and dd the main partition on sda3
      dd if=/dev/sdc2 of=/dev/sda3 bs=4M status="progress"

      Then i mounted the recalbox boot partition, copied bzImage and initrd.gz over to /boot and added an entry on systemd-boot /boot/loader/entries/recalbox.conf

      title recalbox
      linux /bzImage
      initrd /initrd.gz
      options root=UUID=...... rw label=RECALBOX sharewait=30

      and finally i selected DATA as storage through recalbox interface

      my two problems for now :
      1 recalbox don't want to record my hd DATA as storage media, event with sharewait option
      2 boot partition is not mounted on /boot and i can't figure out yet why

      what do you think ?
