I have Garuda xfce in another drive I cannot boot into it. I see the boot entry but it shows an error on booting. I did the os-prober to get the entry.

I have the same behaviour (although you did not post the exact error), not sure if it's as designed or not, but you could try booting directly from the UEFI Boot Menu and see if that works.

In my case, on my UEFI machines, I disabled OS-Prober and I use the UEFI Boot Menu.

The exact error text is important to understand where the problem is.

Nevertheless, when you are at Grub menu, select/highlight the other Garuda System entry and press E for editing. Check and log (write down) the lines that start with linux and initrd . This is where your issue coming from.

Post your findings here together with these commands’ output

lsblk -f
sudo inxi -dpuoaz

I found the issue was ^ symbol being inbetween linux and intrd command. I replaced it with space and it worked. Don't know why os-prober has this behaviour.

In which file?
Your system seems not updated. This issue was fixed about a month ago IIRC.

Petsam is right (he’s really good btw, I like that guy), that is quite old, careful cuz sometimes if you spend too much time without updating you end up in an installation loop mayhem between packages swap and dependencies… happened to me a few times on my less used VMs, I cannot let them 1 month without updating, just in case.
