If you have
error: no such cryptodisk found , perhaps a needed disk or cryptodisk module is not loaded.
Don’t reinstall grub - it broke my system. I can’t boot anymore.

Had a small issue, after post-update reboot I ended up in a completely black screen. But launching applications worked fine, so the system was working but no wallpaper and no control panels. After deleting the ~/.cache folder and another reboot everything seems to work fine.
I had similar error wihout the “module is not loaded” part
…
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
…
and then sudo update-grub
. but now the default manjaro grub theme is not loaded weirdly enough, though it is enabled in /etc/default/grub.
GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
in /etc/default/grub and sudo update-grub
. That did not help and that error: no such cryptodisk found
reappeared and so did the manjaro grub theme .OS boots as usual after pressing any key though. No major errors in logs.
It derailed so fast so quickly (like in xkcd: Success)
Current problem: I read on Reddit that maybe an erroneous entry in /boot/efi or /boot/grub is causing the “out of range pointer”.
So I deleted (I intended to rename them but moved them both the same location ) these folders. (I’m using only one partition for /, home and boot + I’m also using LUKS)
And now grub-install fails: grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn’t look like an EFI partition. After 20min of googling I found no way to fix this.
Sadly the older BTRFS snapshot does not contain an valid efi.
What can I do?
This were my previous actions:
see this
and this
You need to mount your efi partition to /mnt/boot/efi
Can you show us lsblk -f
I was able to boot Manjaro:
@ stephane I will try this again after I backup some important data
@Zesko This is lsblk -f from my now working OS

And you are right Zesko - /boot/efi is not an folder, it is the first partition of nvme0n1. I should have figured that out myself.
For you using Grub and Btrfs with encryption
$ cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/nvme0n1p2 my_encypted_device
$ mount /dev/mapper/my_encypted_device -o subvol=@ /mnt
$ mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot/efi
$ mount /dev/mapper/my_encypted_device -o subvol=@log /mnt/var/log
$ mount /dev/mapper/my_encypted_device -o subvol=@cache /mnt/var/cache
$ mount /dev/mapper/my_encypted_device -o subvol=@home /mnt/home
$ manjaro-chroot /mnt
Then follow:
I did not use cryptsetup + mount + manjaro-chroot because I was able to boot into my OS with some tricks.
update-grub seems to work
But mkinitcpio throws some errors. How can I remove the preset for 6.0? The kernel application and mhwd-kernel do not list it as installed (I think because the kernel was removed) EDIT: I will move /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux60.present to my desktop

And grub-install fails too:
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/nvme0n1p1.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/nvme0n1p1.
grub-install: warning: disk does not exist, so falling back to partition device /dev/nvme0n1p1.
grub-install: error: disk `hostdisk//dev/nvme0n1p1' not found.
What can I fix this error?
I’m currently to afraid to reboot just for testing
rm /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux60.preset
Can you show us df -H /boot/efi in chroot?
Can you show us df -H /boot/efi in chroot?
I see - the one website explicitly says “Boot from a rescue disk and reinstall grub from there!”. Give me a sec
@Zesko grub-install have worked in chroot (and I forget to execute and write down the result of df -H /boot/efi - but I think this is no longer necessary). So I guess I have successfully reinstalled grub.
@Zesko Can you fix the typo in sudo mkinicpio -P
to sudo mkinitcpio -P
for the next person who will execute this command?
The current situation is, that my mainboard detects two possible boot methods.
/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
) that usually worked will caused the critical 452: out of range pointer: 0x95a5c020
error in (I guess) grub - see https://forum.manjaro.org/uploads/default/optimized/3X/3/7/37bacf5fa71afa8d0a0419c4faeb9e8a100bb516_2_666x500.jpeg./efi/Manjaro/grubx64.efi
) works without a problem.So my current workaround will be to change the boot order of my mainboard. I will google to check if there is a better solution.
I had the same error trying to boot an encrypted system & followed the steps to reinstall Grub. Unfortunately, now I am just in some weird loop where it keeps taking me to the boot menu where all I can do is select my main SSD & it starts all over again.
I am trying to find a solution online but finding it very confusing. I think I need to some how mount my encrypted disk & chroot into it. I’m lost currently! I do have a Timeshift restore point but don’t know how to get to it.
Thanks, Ruziel
@ruziel Can you
I was able to boot into my normal OS and access my personal files.
But if you want to chroot/reinstall grub, you have to select “Boot with * drivers”.
@Tobiwan Thanks! Okay, so I’m into my system. I’m just unsure how to fix my system from here. There seem to be several approaches suggested. When I followed the “sudo mkinitcpio -P” and then updated Grub, that’s when my problems got worse. Before that, I could at least boot into my system. I have a Timeshift restore point. Should I apply that & try the update again? Thanks a lot for your help. Ruziel…
Maybe copy grubx64.efi to the correct location?
sudo -s
cd /boot/efi/EFI
mv boot/bootx64.efi boot/bootx64.efi.backup
cp Manjaro/grubx64.efi boot/bootx64.efi
I will try this - please wait for my confirmation, that this will not break my/your system.
Edit: It works. Copying important system files to other places is madness but hopefully a good enough solution
Hey, wow it worked! I’m in! I really appreciate you stepping in to assist. Your name is well chosen.
Does this have any longer-term implications?
I was a bit nervous installing full encryption on my laptop but need the security - I dunno how often this kind of issue can happen with an update.
Much appreciated. R
Thanks - It is a give and take - and why should I not return the favour after other users helped me.
I sadly don’t know what the longer-term implications are. Maybe this error will return?
