大部分已经添加,因为繁杂只写了注意点,原来用Ubuntu没有这么多的坑,暴露出来也好。

warn your embedding area is unusually small. core.img won't fit in it 出现在没有分配/boot而是直接根分区的状态,需要调整分区起始位置,一般够128K即可

The newer releases of GRUB2 need a special partition to store the core.img (this is the kernel image of grub + necessary modules for reading your filesystem). Former releases used the so called 62 block gap between the mbr (block 1) an the first partition block 63. Since newer system might use the newer and better gpt labeling instead of the old mbr labeling (aka msdos disk label) Grub stores its data in this special partition.
Usually this partition should be the first one an it should be flaged with the bios_grub flag. (parted 1 set bios_grub on)
unfortunately arch linux doesn't ship parted with bios_grub flag support. (But support can be found if you built parted from git ... as far as i know there is no such PKGBUILD in AUR, so you are alone)
