Well at least with supergrub2 I am at the same situation as before. I can boot into my original siduction but it still is a workaround.
I will have a look at the options and possibilities of supergrub2, maybe I find a solution there.
when it was hard to write it should be hard to read

Hello
I have a similar problem. The system was idle and something happen and lost internet. After reboot does not boot (goes to bios).
How I can  get root privileges in live CD to restore grub?

so, if you have a mow or giants iso than it is easy, boot it and click on the chroot-helper icon. When in chroot, than run grub-install and afterwards update-grub, That would be the first thing I would try, reboot and hope.
Or try to update your system again. in chroot. there is a fixed version of grub on the way.
For more information see the upgrade warnings!

You can change to root with sudo su -, if you need to.

grub-install gives error: install device isn't specified

Code: [Select]
grub-install /dev/sdX
without a target it only works on EFI systems.

I have also a boot problem described here https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=9110.new#new

I did follow all the steps described on the second post of this thread.

At the
Code: [Select]
install-grub /dev/nvmeXnY step I got a warning that EFI variables can't be set. Update-grub did not report any problem.

When I enter my password to decrypt the / disk, I got the following message :
  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  

What should I do to get the / correctly mounted?

@lanig

Here is the way you could try, but you have to decrypt your system, then mount it.

> https://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=8617.msg68872#msg68872

And what you need is a grub-install then an update-grub.

Important is that you also mount your efi partition too!

Thanks for your answer. This is what I have done but for a reason I don't understand either the encrypted disk is not found, or is found but not decrypted and mounted as /.

After your repair trials, did the "error: symbol `grub_efi_load_image' not found." line vanish? If not, you are still not using the 'fixed' grub. And without that, I doubt that the "cryptodisk" problem can be solved.

By the way, 'grub' is a really powerful tool (when it works  :) ). Even when the configuration does not work, you can get into the command mode (by typing a 'c') and have a look. You have to study the the manual a little bit, or at least use the built-in "h(elp)" command. An e.g. "ls" command should list all available disks and partitions, encrypted or not. [For the encrypted ones, not their contents, of course.] Is your encrypted disk listed there?

Good luck.

with a live ISO you should be able to boot an existing system, did you try this? This is also a possibility.

How do you try to open the encrypted disk?
Which command you use?
