So i am dual booting fedora 36 and windows 11, but a couple of days ago, i stopped being able to boot into fedora 36. I got some help from this forum and typed the following commands in a live usb of fedora: sudo /bin/bash mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt mount --bind /boot /mntroot/boot mount --bind /bo…

You are supposed to create the grub config file in /boot not /etc. It goes something like this # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Also I think the curl errors are maybe due to network issues. Make sure your internet is working. I think you should check out the documentation and check out the …

/etc/grub2-efi.cfg is a symbolic link to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg – or it should be. Therefore, you can specify either one as output.

I seriously doubt about the first commands: Assuming it’s no BTRFS, I would do: mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt/root Only if separate boot partition: mount /dev/nvme0n1p? /mnt/root/boot with ? is index of boot partition mount /dev/nvme0n1p? /mnt/root/boot/efi with ? the index of the EFI partition S…

Ive managed to install grub now, but i am having problems with grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Which gives me the error: /usr/sbin/grub2-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is / dev mounted?). What is it i need to mount here?

Did you mount / on /mnt/root while using the live disk because I think for some reason it was not there.

Im a bit confused. Didnt i do that with the command mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt? If not, what exactly is it i need to mount to what? Sorry for this dumb, question, as you can probably tell, i know very little about linux.

Its okay we all were beginner once. So are you sure the one you used to mount is the / partition and if it is then try to chroot into it again and I would suggest to follow the documentation and change the disk index likewise. And this is a dumb question on my part :sweat_smile: and don’t get offend…

Instead of mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt/root shouldnt it be mount /dev/nvme0n1p6 /mnt? because there is no root folder inside the mnt folder. When i try the first command i get mount point does not exist. The root folder is in the nvme0n1p6 i think. If not, could this be the problem? When i used the…

Yeah you actually have to create the folder before you use that command and that’s exactly what this mkdir -p /mnt/root command does , it creates the directory inside /mnt where you mount everything else. And you have to chroot into /mnt/root as you have used it to mount the / partition.
