GRUB error: unknown filesystem

Support
1

Hey guys,
I’ve installed Manjaro XFCE and it worked fine. After restarting my PC, I cannot boot it anymore. Of course I already googled and found out that my grub installation is messed up but I’m too noobish to fix it myself.

Solution from another thread:

mount -t ext4 /dev/sda6 /manjaro
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /manjaro/boot/efi
mount --bind /dev /manjaro/dev
mount -t proc proc /manjaro/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /manjaro/sys
[ -d /manjaro/sys/firmware/efi/efivarfs ] || mkdir -p /manjaro/sys/firmware/efi/efivarfs
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /manjaro/sys/firmware/efi/efivarfs
chroot /manjaro /usr/bin/bash
grub-install --recheck --no-rs-codes --modules="part_gpt part_msdos" --efi-directory="/boot/efi" --target="x86_64-efi"
update-grub
exit
umount -R /manjaro

Can I just apply the solution posted?

Some more info:

Thanks in advance!

Why not try to use the tool created for the job?
manjaro-chroot
manjaro-chroot -a

… and then fixing what you need to fix
and then updating grub
update-grub
?

… and then fixing what you need to fix

What do I need to fix to get it running again?

Something like that?

manjaro-chroot -a
grub-install --recheck --no-rs-codes --modules="part_gpt part_msdos" --efi-directory="/boot/efi" --target="x86_64-efi"
update-grub

This only for BIOS, not UEFI.

Not needed here. It is already included.

So, like here descibed: GRUB/Restore the GRUB Bootloader - Manjaro

manjaro-chroot -a
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Manjaro --recheck 
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sync
exit
reboot

I don’t know.
You said:

so I assumed you knew.

No, something like what I wrote. :wink:
If you indeed want or need to to reinstall grub then I have to admit that I don’t know whether that command you found is correct.

something like

sudo manjaro-chroot -a
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=manjaro --recheck --verbose
update-grub
efibootmgr -v
exit ( quit chroot )
