After installing a new SSD I'm getting GRUB error: no such partition

[Mirdarthos]

Disk /dev/sda: 2000GB

Disk /dev/sdb: 275GB

Disk /dev/sdd: 8053MB

Disk /dev/nvme0n1:

@dawidwsmole

I have 5 disks installed in my computer.
2 SATA SSDs
1 SATA HDD
2 PCI SSDs

Doesn’t look that way…

[dawidwsmole]

@Jaypee

I would remove and reseat and plug every storage device back in.

I did that and now it sees the 120GB drive I have manjaro on but I’m still getting the same error on boot.

@dawidwsmole

I did that and now it sees the 120GB drive I have manjaro on but I’m still getting the same error on boot.

Well, that’s a good start, thought.

Try and follow my previous instructions, then.

[Mirdarthos]

That’s nor parted output, that’s inxi output.

That’s good! Continue with the rest.

@Mirdarthos

Is that bad?

[Mirdarthos]

No. It just means you provided the wrong output.

But continue with reinstalling grub, like I mentioned earlier.

[dawidwsmole]

I did the rest of the thing and I got the same error

Everything here:

Reinstalling grub from chroot environment.

Once in the chroot environment, you have to reinstall GRUB. To do so, run the following:

update-grub

When successfully completed, exit the chroot environment:

exit

Followed by rebooting and seeing if it worked.

If it did, feel free to heap on the praise. If, however, it didn’t, well, then I’m not here.

In the chroot environment, please provide the output of:

mount

and

ls /boot

[Mirdarthos]

OK, I can only think of one other thing, then. And it might not even be that, but I figure I’ve got to ask.

• Did you, perhaps, change the boot order in the UEFI/BIOS?
• Did you try to see if it works again without the new SSD? If not, could you please?

[dawidwsmole]

@Mirdarthos

Did you, perhaps, change the boot order in the UEFI/BIOS?

I did after I couldn’t boot the system.

@Mirdarthos

Did you try to see if it works again without the new SSD? If not, could you please?

I didn’t try, I have it mounted a bit unconventionally and it will be hard to mount it back, but if all else fails I can try.

[Mirdarthos]

@dawidwsmole

I did after I couldn’t boot the system.

Well, since that seems unrelated, try changing it back then. Maybe it works.

I have absolutely 0 other bright or dim ideas, though.

[stephane]

can you return

efibootmgr -v

about your motherboard and all disks

• 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support RAID (RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 10), NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug*
  *M2_2 and SATA3_3 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the other one will be disabled.
  ==> it means if you a re using both M2 , you loose one SATA ( SATA3 )

[dawidwsmole]

@Mirdarthos

try changing it back then

It worked!

[Mirdarthos]

@dawidwsmole

It worked!

Sometimes it’s the smallest things.

Very happy for you!

[maycne.sonahoz]

@Mirdarthos

That’s nor parted output, that’s inxi output.

More like both commands were input at once, which may also be why they show one after the other.

@dawidwsmole

It worked!
