merhaba
it’s a known issue

That line is harmless and triggered by /etc/grub.d/60_memtest86+.
That file can even be safely removed on any UEFI system: it will only generate a memtest grub entry on legacy BIOS systems.

when i’m this remove then will show boot menu?

I have some bad news. Looking up your computer model on internet gives a long list of people with the same problems. It seems that the UEFI firmware is not able to boot by default anything else than Windows. The only option seems to be adding grub64.efi to the Secure Boot as explained here:

Other option maybe is to install Windows and Manjaro in Legacy BIOS mode

i removed this then exec update-grub
/etc/grub.d/60_memtest86+
but still not showing boot menu, something other?

windows and ubuntu installed same storage device? because i tried same ssd, not problem. i have different ssd, problem on nvme :confused:

You are saying that you don’t see the GRUB menu when you start up the system?

What is the output of cat /etc/default/grub

To be clear you have a dual boot system, windows and Manjaro?

Did you select the Manjaro ssd in your BIOS as your startup device?

Are you saying that if you install Manjaro (or any Linux) in your SSD in UEFI mode, you can boot Manjaro and you can see grub?

What then if you try to install Manjaro’s grub to /dev/sda1? besides Windows. Does that make any difference? But of course root would be on the nvme

i said two ssd in my system, both plugged, windows installed on sata and manjaro installed on nvme (both samsung), windows/sata ssd showing bios boot menu but nvme not showing bios boot menu, i enter manjaro installed system from detect efi systems option on manjaro installed usb

This is a known “problem.” The warning is known to be erroneous and I’ve only seen it with Manjaro, not other distros. My device reports “unknown device mmcblk2p1” which is my ESP partition on my baytrail device, but it boots fine. My laptop also reports “unknown device nvme0n1” when I updated grub in Manjaro. If you can boot to the OS of your choice you can ignore the “warning”! Or disable the memtest as suggested in the archived thread or in an earlier post.

that not problem, install, show and enter the system, only problemon nvme :confused:
i said above i can enter manjaro installed system from detect efi systems option on manjaro installed usb

If you want to enable the save default function, uncomment the following

line, and set GRUB_DEFAULT to saved.

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed

GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES=“part_gpt part_msdos”

Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices

#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

Uncomment to use basic console

GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console

Uncomment to disable graphical terminal

#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console

The resolution used on graphical terminal

note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE

you can see them in real GRUB with the command ‘videoinfo’

GRUB_GFXMODE=auto

Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter

format “root=/dev/xxx” instead of “root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx”

#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries

GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors. Used by normal and wallpaper

modes only. Entries specified as foreground/background.

GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL=“light-gray/black”
GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT=“green/black”

Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme

#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/usr/share/grub/background.png"
GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/manjaro/theme.txt"

Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start

#GRUB_INIT_TUNE=“480 440 1”

legacy bios mode does badly affect performance? i want to learn much thing but my english is bad :confused:
