I need some help.
Linux manjaro 5.9.16-1-MANJARO KDE
I am running Manjaro KDE and after a software update, the system doesn’t boot anymore. I had the same issue before on a different system, and in short, I just reinstalled the OS. I am thinking there must be a better way, I started searching and see my log-file below to understand what the forum was suggesting.
Bottom-line, I can’t boot the system, whatever I do and I am tripping over the “Check your device.map” but i am not seeming to be able to fix it.
Please take a look at my log, is there a different way to check or re-arrange the device.map other than I used (see below)?
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
=== here is full log-file ===
[manjaro@manjaro ~]$ sudo manjaro-chroot -a
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
