Hey there!
I was one of the many affected by the recent grub problems.To fix that, I followed a post here, on garuda forum with instructions to repair it.
However, with grub being fixed, I think it introduced a whole new set of problems.
It's been a long time, yeah, but I wasn't using this machine too much since, but now I'm back home and need to fix that.
The most strange thing is how I should turn my computer on.
If I just idle and wait for it to boot, usually it gives that grub error or just black screen. However, sometimes it does boot into some kind of grub, which is not decorated (like garuda dragon on the back and stuff) and then 50/50 it boots.
The only reliable way of booting my machine is to enter boot menu directly (pressing F12 on startup) and choosing (3) garuda linux from the options there:
- UEFI OS (Samsung SSD 980 1TB)
- Samsung SSD 980 1TB
- garuda (Samsung SSD 980 1TB)
Choosing anything else leads to permanent black screen/infinite load.
This option leads to a nice garuda customized grub and loads fine.
Now the strangest thing is that if I enter the BIOS first, and choose the same option from there, it leads to this undecorated grub I mentioned before, and usually doesn't boot.
Apart from that, even when I boot, everything became kind of laggy since then, but I'm not sure this is related (still a noticeable coincidence).
So, summary:
- I guess there are TWO grubs somehow on my machine? One is the buggy old one and one is the updated one?
- Very specific steps should be taken to even turn my machine on
- Laggy performance on every level after booting (like, 70% of the time)
What should I do to diagnose the problems and solve them?
Thanks!
