Arch won't boot anymore

Hi everyone,

I've been using Arch Linux on my PC for quite some time without any major hiccups.

I'm using a double boot with refind as my bootloader.

Here is my device configuration :

Recently, I've been missing disk space on my Windows drives, so I decided to buy new SSDs and I cloned them using a Windows software which name I forgot.

Since then, my computer automatically starts on Windows. Refind does not even display.

I tried to manually set the boot drive to my NVME Linux drive, but it is not recognized anymore in the BIOS.

I restarted my computer on a bootable USB Arch Linux and the EFI partition (sdc2) is still there and mounts properly. The NVME disk seems intact.

What should I do next?

Ben

Re: Arch won't boot anymore

Please post the output of 

efibootmgr -uv

Maybe your NVRAM entries for Linux got lost or does not match your new ssd...

Edit: and 

sudo blkid

Re: Arch won't boot anymore

By the way, I only changed the windows SSDs. The Linux one is still the same NVME disk

Re: Arch won't boot anymore

efibootmgr shows you have lost your boot entry for linux.
See  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Efibootmgr to re-add the entries - I assume the required files in the efi partition are still there ?

If unsure, I propose you follow the wiki here and simply reinstall REFInd boot manager .
