It will not even boot into a recovery mode. It chokes with, error: no such device: fd7d1eb0-731b-4c56-8f60-fe5924842a22 error: no such partition. error: you need to load the kernel first. Whatever Grub boot loader got installed, that would seem to indicate that it is passing control to some Grub bo...

It looks like your / , /boot , and /home are on /dev/nvme0n1 that is an MBR (Legacy) disk. Recheck your /etc/fstab file to see if the / , /boot , and /home partition UUID match what they are currently. Post results of these two commands: cat /etc/fstab blkid Hi, I've run this to check that each UUI...

I did wonder about the FAT partition that got set up with the original Mint20 install. This partition is mounted at /boot/efi. This UEFI stuff is still a bit mysterious to me, but try this to show the grub.cfg file that is (should be?) there: sudo cat `sudo find /boot/efi -iname grub.cfg` Those are...

Check if your partitions are labeled, if not make them.
And afterwords run this command:

sudo update-initramfs -uk all ; update-grub

error: no such device: fd7d1eb0-731b-4c56-8f60-fe5924842a22 error: no such partition. error: you need to load the kernel first. I grep'd every file in /boot and in /etc and there is no 'fd7d1eb0-731b-4c56-8f60-fe5924842a22' string anywhere. So where does it come from? If you have EFI booting, check...

This is turning into a serious waste of time. I had Mint19 on my old computer. Bought a new MB with a larger 500G NVM, so I installed Mint20 fresh on it. But I wanted to also put the old Mint19 setup onto the NVM and allow dual boot, so I can keep my old settings etc until I get everything updated. ...

Ahhh, yes, now I see it. Too much information sometimes, not enough knowledge on which is important. Interesting failure of the system to reflect 'reality'. The permissions seen by 'ls -l' reflect the ACL of the files/dir, but do not seem to change with the disk permissions. So explaining my confusi...

I installed mint 19.3 on a new SSD, I have made a mount point /media/mint17/ for my old 'home' and added the path '/media/mint17/$USER/bin' to PATH. However my scripts do not run... eg I have a simple script 'infosys' that will not run, eg, So from the bin directory itself. (/media/mint17/bill/bin)....
