grub-probe does not know how to handle my NVME storage

Hi there,

I'm trying to add a Windows 10 partition to the GRUB bootloader running in UEFI mode. I'm following the wiki's guide on how to do this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … menu_entry

My issue is that while I'm able to run the following successfully:

[root@jupiter mnt]# grub-probe --target=fs_uuid windows/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
02F9-C0B6

The hints_string version of the command fails:

[root@jupiter mnt]# grub-probe --target=hints_string windows/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
grub-probe: warning: unknown device type nvme0n1.

Is this a bug in grub-probe? Or have I missed something? Any help would by very much appreciated!

I'm facing the exact same issue. I would like to know if anybody has ever found a solution for this. If this is the case, it would be nice to add it to the Arch Wiki too.

Thank you!

Unless you have a specific need to use grub, you are probably best using systemd-boot.

Re: grub-probe does not know how to handle my NVME storage

I know i come 2 month later. But with os-prober, I succeeded in running windows through grub with UEFI mode.

Just run the command 'os-prober' before making grub.cfg

sudo os-prober

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
