Are you getting the same message as in post 1 or did the kernel version number change?
post the ouput of

Code:

df -h
sudo ls -R /boot/efi/EFI

Post the output of the following

sudo parted -l
lsblk -f
cat /etc/fstab
cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Well...this an old AMD64 machine I built 10-15 years ago and just tinker with it now. Been running MX for about a year on it which runs fine but decided to go back to Mint as it seems more robust. Im ok with editing the boot each time as it seems to run fine. Anyway...your starting to get a bit over my knowledge level....but if your still willing I'll keep trying!

Post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg

colorpurple21859 · 04-29-2023, 10:08 PM

Another thought, boot into mxlinux and run

Code:

sudo update-grub

See if that fixes it.

Did you use grub-customizer?
post the output of

Code:

ls -R /etc/grub.d

"Did you use grub-customizer?" - In MX there is some sort of customizer that let me change the appearance as it boots into MX but I did that way before I did the Mint update.

Those aren't the standard files in /etc/grub.d and I believe is the cause of the problem. Maybe following these instructions will help.

Well...You are officially over my head! Not sure how to go about this one.
Just to let you know I also posted on the Linux Mint Forum to see if anyone over there might have some ideas.
Thanks for your patience in helping me...at least I can boot to Mint now!

colorpurple21859 · 04-30-2023, 09:27 PM

boot into linux mint and post the output of the following:

Code:

cat boot/grub/grub.cfg 
ls -R /etc/grub.d

What I need is the prefix= line from the grub prompt set command of post 25
