I installed an m.2 SATA SSD into the device in addition to the old SATA SSD. However, it wouldn’t boot properly. I decided to take it out, and now it won’t boot using the existing SSD either. Does anyone know what could be the issue? So far, I’ve tried the following:

  1. Checking boot media order in BIOS
  2. Resetting BIOS
  3. Ensuring fstab used UUID’s (it already did)
  4. Updating initramfs

I’m using Debian 6.1.38-2 (2023-07-27).

EDIT: Dran’s suggestion to remove the /drive entry from fstab resolved the issue.

      Glad to hear. If there’s a lesson to be taken from here, it’s to make sure after installing a distro, make note of anything odd in dmesg, journalctl, etc. There’s about eight rabbitholes you could have gone down for weeks and overlooked the obvious here just because we didn’t know what “normal” looked like for your system.
