I installed CachyOS with BTRFS, LUKS2 , REFIND.

After successful installation I'm not seeing any prompt for password nor the linux boot entry on refind.

Note: I didn't do any lvm or raid.

What should I do?

Solved

I just forgot to create a boot partition 😮‍💨

Have you used BRTFS with your rEFInd install before? I recall needing a few manual configurations before it detected my Arch install.

I'd recommend mounting your EFI partition from a live ISO and trying some of the configuration steps at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Btrfs_subvolume_support

I've used BTRFS with rEFInd before. It's worked just fine. So I don't think it's on BTRFS.

Make a custom boot entry and enter through it. Then refind should be able to generate new ones after your first boot. That's how I do it on a stock arch install with rEFInd, LUKS and btrfs
