Booting Issue After Installation on VirtualBox

AR

Hi, could you please create this as a separate post in the Issues and Bugs tag so we can discuss and troubleshoot?

Hi AR, could you post a screenshot of the Grub prompt so we could take a closer look at what happened?

This looks to me as a failure on grub-mkconfig's part, here's what I'd recommend you do:

Boot from the Live medium again
Remount the filesystem layout in a way that you can chroot in, replacing XY and XZ with the appropriate partition identifiers for the btrfs root and vfat EFI partitions:
- sudo mount -o subvol=@ /dev/sdXY /mnt
- sudo mount -o subvol=@home /dev/sdXY /mnt
- sudo mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/boot/efi
Once the filesystem layout is set up under /mnt, run the following commands:
- sudo arch-chroot /mnt pacman -Syu
- sudo arch-chroot /mnt grub-install --efi-dir /boot/efi
- sudo arch-chroot /mnt grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Unmount all the relevant drives using the following command:
- sudo umount -R /mnt
Reboot!

Hopefully, this should resolve the issue. If any issues or warnings are encountered during grub-install and/or grub-mkconfig, make sure to screenshot them and send them in this thread for further troubleshooting
