Issues with Grub2 on fresh install

So, after some issues I was able to get a fresh install by passing this argument to the install script: nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 This helped me to get to the live install, however after the install I’m now having a system freeze shortly after booting up. I believe I need to add to the Grub config GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500” So, my first thought was just to go back into the live install again and edit that command line, but this failed as those changes didn’t seem to stick. Then I tried another install using the Garuda Boot Options tool, I added the argument hoping it would carry over into the new install, again though it didn’t.

So, I need a way to alter this either with the install or afterwards. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Boot from the live USB, mount your system if necessary and change the GRUB config from there.
Actually, you’ll need to regenerate the grub configuration after updating.
So, you’ll have to chroot from the live USB, via the dedicate button or manually and update the file and update grub from there.

I managed to get the changes to stick, but it’s still freezing…

I’ve successfully changed /etc/default/grub

the file wouldn’t appear in another directory?

No, it shouldn’t go anywhere else, as far as I know.
Don’t forget the

update-grub

of course (sudo not needed inside chroot).

This will show my ‘newb’ status with Garuda, but apparently during the Garuda boot process there is a point where I can hit ‘e’ and entire an edit mode similar to a live install boot… so I was able to do that, and once there I just used the ‘boot editor’ that Garuda has built into it… I’m hoping that has solved the issue… I’m hopeful that this has solved the issue… I’ll make sure to update this onced I’ve rebooted
