GRUB not working as intended any more
by Ratamahatta from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54NBY)
Hello everyone,
I somehow screwed my GRUB settings, it seems. What I did is I booted W10 to reduce the size of a partition and create a new one (without FS). Then I tried to reboot into Linux (Siduction: based on Debian Sid) via GRUB, which failed. What I got was a grub rescue mode, after GRUB complained about an unknown file system. Seems to have pointed to the new partition.
So I tried the usual thing I have done in the past on openSUSE and Ubuntu systems at work: Booted from installation medium, chrooted into the installed environment, did Code:update-grub
grub-installthen rebooted. No change.
I use rEFind, so I can just boot from the linux partition directly, which I did. Then repeatedly triedCode:update-grub
grub-install
grub-install reinstalland rebooted. The error message is different now but it's still not working. I have confirmed that the right (according to my old fstab) partition is mounted under /boot/efi.
Somehow, the system seems to not determine/use the right settings for grub to work properly.
How to fix this?
