 Posted: Tue Jul 02, 2024 7:57 pm Post subject: Cloned to NVMe, but won't show up in EFI boot manager. |
 |
|
| So I bought an NVMe drive and I used Clonezilla to clone my old drive to the new NVMe. I had Ganto installation and Windows installation too, so it was dual booted. I was using GRUB, but when I cloned it the EFI boot entry didn't show up in When I tried to boot it, but then I installed the live ISO into my USB, I had CHROOTED into my actual installation, I did a GRUB install with the removable flag, but it still didn't showed up in booting, what could be the issue. I could put my fstab config or something but I don't think it's relevant here. What should I look for? How would I test it more? What can I do? |

What do you mean marked as ESP? Because you cannot mark partition as ESP like with the bootable flag for MBR. Do you mean the type of partition like when using CFdisk? Do you mean when you are setting a type like Linux partition or Microsoft basic data? |

i'm guessing it means to select the partition type as "EFI System" (that's how i do it in fdisk, at least). |

that happens with nvme drives, they confuse uefi somehow. you can try flipping the battery,
then you should have a fresh config with no boot entries. then try reinstalling grub and generating
the config. but before doing any of that, check if you do in fact have any entries via efibootmgr. |

PO said he has installed grub with --removable option. This means to me that:
1. He has a buggy UEFI which does not allow to create new UEFI entries, OR
2. He does not know the consequence of using this option: grub-installl will not try to create an UEFI boot entry because it will copy grubx64.efi as \boot\bootx64.efi
(see more: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EFI_System_Partition#Removable_media )
I gave a checklist ... paragraph 4 explains exactly what I have meant with ESP flag ... He said he did "set 1 boot on" (means to me: He used "parted" instead "fdisk").
@picarica
So, now my next question: Do you have NOW only this NVMe active, OR do you have your new NVMe + your old HD active in your system ? (and please dont forget my requested outputs)

For parted, boot and esp are 2 different things.
| Code: | $ parted -l
...
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 2000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2149MB 2147MB fat32 ESP boot, esp |
fdisk only shows esp (doesn't mention boot)
| Code: | | /dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 4196351 4194304 2G EFI System |

okay i am finally doing this so i got all the stuff
so i just cleanly formated my EFI partition after i verified that it has botth esp and boot flag and did grub install without --removable and i was able to boot, my windows partition was not shown up in grub, but i was unable to boot still
i dont even have this disk anywhere
this was before i formated it
and of course i made a backup, thats how i was able to boot into windows to post this i restored it weirdly that gentoo uefi entry is still there and broken weird
photo of blkid
so i got here blkid
lsblk
ls of boot
aaand parted again
so i am beffaled maybe if i could boot into gentoo it would detec my windows partition and work fine, but now i have two entried UEFI OS and gento entry which are both same grub that boots int gentooo that cant boot.
what can i do from now, i think i emptied my options |

If you have efibootmgr installed run it and show the output (shouldn't be a lot)
also what is the output of "ls -l /dev/nvme*"

So you're booting off the Kingston.
But boot order is Windows, Gentoo, Generic boot, sda, data traveller, sda (again)

| Oh okay Well, I'm just stupid idiot, I just found out why it wouldn't boot, I had some GRUB resume entry in default config in GRUB, so I just removed it and it booted fine, I totally forgot about that. |
