How do I get rEFInd to find my arch install?












0














I have a pc with two SSD's and a HDD.
The first SSD has windows 10 for gaming.
I had ubuntu on the 2nd SSD. I could boot into ubuntu by holding down F12 for boot options and selecting to boot off this 2nd drive.



I have decided to try out arch with rEFInd on the 2nd SSD. I've installed arch ok from a USB drive but I cant boot into arch off the SSD.



When I boot off the SSD with arch, I get a white screen that says 'rEFInd boot management" for like one second then the system restarts.



How can I get rEFInd to find my arch install? Is there a way of troubleshooting why I am seeing a blank rEFInd screen? I feel like I am close but am stumbling in the dark now. I have included some system info below. Ive got a brief video of what happens on startup.
