how do i add boot menu with 4.7 on dual boot system with Windows?

carlanbro

i used to use this guide from github in order to add one

but some of the recent changes made it not work when i get to the /mnt/solus/boot part where it says "mount: /mnt/solus/boot: mount point does not exist.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call."

Could mount from Disks app. Have a look at the disk look for the small partition with boot flags and click the play button to mount it. Then go back to terminal and type lsblk to see if it mounted and where then continue with instructions. I managed with windows 11 but when doing updates win 11 doesn't like being started from the solus menu so have to F12 in BIOS and select Windows Boot Manager to complete updates, otherwise all ok.

First, to clarify, are you setting up the dual-boot with Solus and Windows or had you done that before (and now the system won't boot to Solus)? Can you give us a little more detail about the problem you're currently having?

"mount: /mnt/solus/boot: mount point does not exist.

That's probably the problem there. Try doing creating that directory before trying to mount it:

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/solus/boot
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/solus/boot

TraceyC bit late, but i did forget that something in the recent iso changes made the mnt folder non existent. making one helped. thanks
