White underline at boot. (Dualboot/Grub)

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
1

Hi, ive got a white underline (blinking) with nothing happening when booting my tower regularly.
Ive got Dual Boot with Windows and EOS. This problem wasnt there before it just came out of nowhere.

I can still boot by pressing F12 at the very beep of my Tower to go into the Bootmenu and Select either EOS or Windows. By selecting EOS i get into grub and from there into EOS.

Is there any possibility to fix ths without completely reinstalling?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps the following info may help someone to figure out what is going on.

Post the output of:

efibootmgr

sudo parted -l

lsblk -f

cat /etc/fstab

Nothing jumps immediately out as being off with the output you have posted.

You could however try reinstalling the grubā€™s binary efi bootloader and regenerate grub.cfg.

I cannot guarantee that it will resolve the issue which may be caused by something else but it wonā€™t hurt trying.

From your current EnOS session, run:

sudo grub-install --efi-directory=/boot/efi bootloader-id=endeavouros

and

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot.

It the issue is still there, Iā€™m afraid I couldnā€™t be of more help and will be watching knowledgeable forum members to assist you further.

Sadly this hasnt changed anything at all. but thank you anyways. maybe someone has an idea too!
it kinda feels like grub is in the wrong place when booting. why doesnt access my pc grub right away or maybe cant, but via the boot menu from the mainboard i can acess ist, when choosing endavouros entry in there.

feels weird. i dont remember getting to grub when choosing endavour os from the mainboard boot menu, but maybe thats just me. lol

Hopefully some members will come by who have a better idea of what might be the cause.

Thereby, I withdraw and wish you good luck on resolving this issue.

Another option would be to check the boot order from within computerā€™s BIOS.

On my laptop after a BIOS update it got stuck at the BIOS logo. The bootorder I changed via efibootmgr -o ā€¦ had no effect until I ā€œresortedā€ things from within BIOS.

Maybe this helps.

THIS WAS IT. I went into the Bios and checked the Loadorder and EOS were at the very bottom for some reason.
Thank you.
