Re: [arch-general] systemd on bios computer

That's not a package I specifically installed, but may have been pulled in by another package dependency. I'll check for the package and remove it if found. On Wed, 5 Jul 2017, Eli Schwartz via arch-general wrote:

When doing a systemd upgrade I get: (3/7) Upgrading systemd-boot... Couldn't find EFI system partition. It is recommended to mount it to /boot. Alternatively, use --path= to specify path to mount point. error: command failed to execute correctly Are either of the above alternatives even viable for a real bios machine? This one got built when efi was somewhere on the drawing board or maybe before efi ever got to the drawing board.

Sounds like you have the AUR package "systemd-boot-pacman-hook" installed, which automatically runs `/usr/bin/bootctl update` after every update of the systed package.

*Why* do you have that installed on a BIOS machine? This command is only relevant for people who are using systemd-boot as their boot manager on a computer that uses UEFI, and the error message is quite right in saying that it cannot find an EFI System Partition for UEFI booting... on a machine that boots via BIOS rather than UEFI.
