Cannot boot after installation

[timer]

Hi,

I try to install debian on my server, on a new NVMW SSD. I didn't touch the old disk with ubuntu on it.
After I finish the installation process (Installed without Desktop but with SSH) I can choose debian in the boot options but then I fall into the grub bash.

ls shows me two hd's -> my old ssd with ubunt and the usb-stick which was the installtion medium.
But it looks like it did not see my new nvme ssd.

I also tried to update the grub of my ubuntu, and it generate a new entry for the debian, but also boot this failed with 'No such device ...'

Can anybody help me with my problem?

Kind regrads
Tim

If the old SSD is SATA and the new SSD is NVME, this is not a surprising result. Also, support for NVME access and NVME booting aren't necessarily equivalent. Is the new one in an M.2 port? If yes, then booting should be supported. If not, it's likely boot from elsewhere is not supported. Booted to Ubuntu, please get input/output from the following to paste here:

Code: Select all

sudo parted -l
sudo efibootmgr

Just a thought , because I have seen this at least once. Are both of your drives GPT (you can check with fdisk -l)?
