Right now I'm struggling to get my set-up working.
I intended a dual boot windows 10/ linux kde plasma 5 build which are both installed on different, empty drives.
My rig:
MoBo: MSI X370 gaming pro carbon
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1600x 3.2 GHZ
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4-3200
GPU: Geforce GTX 760 4GB (to be replaced)
Drive1: plextor m.2 nvme ssd 500gb [windows installed]
Drive2&3: Samsung 850 evo 250GB raid1 [Linux failed to install]
If I'm missing out on any important information please let me know.
So far i followed these instructions to get my setup working:

— > I kept getting the "failed to install grub-efi to /target/ error message and everything i found on the internet so far didn't fix it.

–> for some reason my ssd's don't show up in my bios as an available option…
Gladly appretiate any help!
Cheers

I have noticed that the file that adds the efi-firmware option to the grub menu errors on some computers. grub installs but the initial grub-update to create the config file is what fails.
the file /etc/grubd/30_efi-firmware needs to be edited to remove the if/then statement. then update grub.
I've edited mine to read:
if your installer has a command prompt at the bottom. you can make this change and reinstall grub (nano is the text editor. you may have to comment out the gettext_printf line also ).
if not then, continue with out installing grub, and make the change from a LiveCD. and update grub.
