I wanted to create a separate home partition during install
I created a btrfs operating system partition which contained automatically created a root partition and many subvolumes
I removed the home subvolume and created a separate /home and biosboot partition.
However after installing it just takes me to the command line login.
Was there something I missed?
Used similar setup on fedora atomic except that it automatically created /var and /boot on separate partitions during that install and it booted fine
Any suggestions?
Custom partitioning and bios booting are not supported with Kalpa
There were several topics about the same problem recently. Use forum search or browse the recent topics.
Not supported doesn’t= can’t be done.
Not supported == you are on your own.

Not by definition. This is a user help users forums and I assume it is quite legal to ask if some other user managed in doing something and how. Of course the warning that eventual bug reports to the developers will be ignored is useful information.

No, it is your machine, and you can do what you wish, that’s very true. And forum users might help you support this non-standard configuration. The Kalpa developers won’t.

Kalpa should boot to a graphical environment though shouldn’t it?
Yes, there is a bug in the current installer. login at the tty, and run systemctl enable --now --force sddm.service
Do I reboot after doing that?
systemctl isolate graphical.target should suffice
I just get a blinking cursor after executing command
