Hello,
I have 3 disks in my PC:
/dev/nvme0n1 - nvme drive with a fresh install of endeavouros KDE
/dev/sda - SATA SSD with Windows 10
/dev/sdb - SATA SSD with manjaro linux
After finished installing eos on third drive, it’s boot menu doesn’t contain entry to boot manjaro, only itself and Windows. os-prober doesn’t see disk no. 3. What could be the problem?
TIA

Are they installed with a mix of UEFI and MBR/Legacy boot? That is one common reason.
Hi dalto,
Thanks for answering. No UEFI, all is MBR.

Could you show the output of commands
lsblk -fm
sudo fdisk -l
Output of lsblk -fm

Your Manjaro is installed on a BTRFS filesystem.
You would need a patched os-prober to detect the systems installed on BTRFS.
Something like the following package from AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/os-prober-btrfs
Or build Manjaro’s own and install it on EnOS:
Please note that if you choose the second option, you would need to keep track of the updates yourself.
Another option would be to let Manjaro be in charge of the booting process.

Changing the boot drive order in BIOS is obviously the simplest solution. I was just curious about the problem. Thanks.
