Hi!
Check the bios boot order and change it to the sdd

3

After I install grub from live boot. I set manjaro at the top on the boot order. Restart the system same issue cannot boot no grub.
Also its weird if I again boot through USB the entry in efibootmgr for the manjaro gets lost.

can you check UUID

sudo lsblk -fs 
sudo manjaro-chroot -a ( type 1 if only one line 0 appears )
cat /etc/fstab 
exit ( end chroot )

/etc/fstab: static file system information.

Use ‘blkid’ to print the universally unique identifier for a device; this may

be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices that works even if

disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

do a restore grub-install

sudo manjaro-chroot -a ( type 1 if only one line 0 appears )
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --verbose

can you do this

sudo manjaro-chroot -a ( type 1 if only one zero 0 appears )
cp /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdb -p 1 -L "manjaro" -l "\EFI\Manjaro\grubx64.efi"
exit ( quit chroot )
13

What do you mean by type 1 if only one zero 0 appeaes?

14

There is no /boot inside EFI directory. Created the directory. and executed cmds. Rebooted to no avail.

15

if you see 0 - manjaro , type 1 not 0

16

After restart, it takes me to the USB boot menu. Says no uefi files detected.
In the efibootmgr, the entry gets deleted each time I do a reboot.

17

do the bios show UEFI manjaro , have you also try detect boot disks from USB iso ?

18

No, bios doesnot show uefi manjaro. I am booting with USB currently.

19

What should I do? Its been 3 days.

20

LENNOVO is a GARBAGE laptop. Apparently, it doesnot boot if I put SSD in the DVD ROM place. I swapped HDD and SSD and it worked.
Thanks anyway.
