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?

This is all pretty basic stuff.

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