Void boot dissapearing #457

Description

@mohennaceur

I performed a regular XFCE install on a USB. When done with the install (done to a samsung SSD), I checked efibootmgr. Efibootmgr claimed that the void boot was there, however when I rebooted the system, the void boot was removed. Updating grub from chroot appeared to work but alas, upon reboot, void disappeared. This isn't a problem of my hardware as I'm able to easily install other distros (mint, manjaro).
Info about my system:
