[SOLVED] GRUB don't boot

Hello everyone,

Since yesterday I can't boot GRUB (Blinking dash).
I've used Chroot to reinstall grub and then use grub-config again. I've searched everywhere and I can't find what is the problem.
Thank you for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB don't boot

What did you do "yesterday"? Unless you explicitly run grub-install/grub-mkconfig nothing about your GRUB configuration changes, even when you update. Did you do a UEFI update? To actually look at this, post the resulting GRUB config file and

efibootmgr -uv

I'm not on UEFI, i've BIOS, I run Arch for 5 or 6 years on my laptop.
I didn't do anything special yesterday exept regular update. When I came back to my laptop (still running) It was freeze so I turn it off with power button cause they were nothing responding and then when I boot Grub didn't boot.

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB don't boot

Can you get into the BIOS menu? Is the startup entry selected the correct disk? Did you add an USB that might be attempted to be booted from instead? Generally if found and can be loaded GRUB should show up or you have actual HW failure going on. Can you boot a live disk?

Re: [SOLVED] GRUB don't boot

The problem was the boot priority (I don't know why it has changed). I am able to boot when I select the right HD.
Thank you so much for the help, I didn't think to watch the boot priority on the BIOS. Sorry for the inconvenience, my bad.
