That doesn’t seem relevant to the mount issue.

I’m getting out of clues…
:frowning_face:

It’s ok, thanks for your help and time. I suspect it might just be easier to reinstall everything from scratch. Is it possible to have the GRUB on the SSD and Manjaro on the nvme? I think a lot of the issues are caused by the fact my motherboard simply won’t recognize the PCIe slot as a bootable drive

AFAIK you can have your EFI partition anywhere.


I believe we haven’t checked yet: would your motherboard/BIOS have a newer firmware available?

I tried that when installing linux in the first place, but the newest firmware didn’t do the trick. The only way to get it to recognize it was to rewrite the BIOS or something, which I am most certainly not doing!

I think I will try and reinstall everything and go from there.

Thanks again for all the help!

An update: I restored a time shift from before the update, and it’s all working again. It restored both the boot and os files, so I assume that something is going wrong with the GRUB after updating the Kernal.

This once again means I am on a lisghtly outdated Kernal as before (ou helped me solve the failure to update issues), but I thnk for now I will make do!

You can use Maxi

to collect information about the boot process. This works,

  • when you are in your running system (with CTRL+ALT+F2).
  • And also in a live environment
