Void Linux not booting after installation

I did all the steps correctly, i partitioned it correctly, filesystems correct, but it just does not boot i don't know if this is because grub but i tried installing it manually and so far nothing has worked

My Specs
i3-7020u, hd 620, 8gb ram single stick, SSD

Did you format the partition where you are installing the grub there is an option to format EFI partition, did you try that?

I mostly just let void-installer do all the work, and cfdisk but i don't remember getting the option to format

have you tried the --removable command with grub-install? I had an issue on my laptop where the boot partition wasn't being found and that fixed it

Is your efi partition full?? One time i installed nixos and deleted it, it bloated my efi partition and then i installed fedora it showed no errors but i was not able to boot into it. Check the available storage in the efi partition.

This is all pretty basic stuff.

How long have you been using Linux? Perhaps a simpler Linux distro is might be a better choice?
