I am not sure which one is used as my boot loader, could you please tell me how to check that? I am thinking using this following command: #pacman -Rs lilo #pacman -Rs grub-common #pacman -S grub Is that correct? Thank you so much!

If you are using grub2 as your boot loader, install the "grub" package from your chroot, and remove the lilo and grub-common packages. If you are booting with lilo, remove grub-common and update lilo.(now at 24.0-3 in the AUR). WorMzy
