I have no idea what happened, but my #PopOS installation will no longer boot. From what I can tell it doesn't find any disks, because there aren't any I can see in initramfs. I booted into a live system and checked that both disks are there. I was able to mount my system partition perfectly fine. It does have the expected UUID as well and I could print the one page I wanted without any issues.

I tried chroot and update-initramfs, but it didn't help.

I used and updated the laptop yesterday. 😩

@TyrionTargaryen those are the steps I was following. I did run the grub commands, because apparently the systems too old for UEFI, but I could have sworn that it wasn't using grub. 🤔

The one thing that had me puzzled was that I couldn't find any boot partition whatsoever. But those boot entries and the entire configuration has to be somewhere.

I'll go back to it when I find more time. Now that there's a Debian installed on another disk, I can at least get into an OS and to all my files.

@mforester

Gotcha. I'm not at the computer yet, but I can try to help you in a few hours, if you want. (I'm not an expert, just a Pop! user.)

@TyrionTargaryen thank you. I don't think I'll find time for it this evening, but thanks for the offer. 🙂
