    Hi, atm I'm using DeepinOS on an Intel device and I want to install another distro (Arch linux for specific).
    But when ever I installed Arch, I get back to grub (Deepin's grub) to boot to Deepin, it always said that "You are in enmergency mode.... bbswitch:no discrete VGA device found"
    After that I have to delete all Archlinux's partition and then Deepin boot as normal

    This is happening with not just Arch but any other distro that I've tried.

    I also tried disable "bbswitch" module but the issue still occur (without bbswitch... warning)

    How can I install other distro beside DeepinOS proberly?

    Plus: All of my partition are logical (splited from only one extended partition) *** Is that cause anything to this issue?

    Delete  Deepins GRUB and configure Arch Linuxs Syslinux to support booting both.
    sudo gedit /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
    Copy the entry for Arch,paste it under Archs and modify it to display Deepin as menu entry and boot Deepins partition.

    I'm really confused because this issue now occur even when I wiped out Arch Linux. I don't know what happened but I have to arch-chroot using USB then format current swap partition to boot Deepin up.
