On boot i get error hidden.mod not found and stystem is behaving a bit different

Issues & Assistance Newbies
1

on booting i get the following error

ERROR:file'@/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/part_mdosGRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden.mod' not found.

After installing Garuda I used it for few months and then i tried editing grub and ended up in grub rescue :sweat_smile:.
i somehow fixed it with loading kernel from rescue,since then i get the error while booting
i think i messed up mounting part while in grub rescue and the system experience got different
for example when i used command cd /
output:

permission denied

garuda-inxi

i have chrooted with live media and reinstalled grub

i meant i had made several grub customisations and when i added a line to hide the boot process since windows logo used to pop up while booting garuda i ended up in grub rescue . i fixed it by chrooting then this error pops up whenever i boot .
i have also removed the line i added to /ec/default/grub
please tell me if any output is required i'll provide it as soon as possible

You added a line to what file?

What did the line say?

Chrooting alone doesn’t fix anything. What did you do inside the chroot to fix it?

You have this line in /etc/default/grub twice, once on line 6 and again on the bottom line. Go ahead and delete the one on the bottom.

It sounds like you changed other things besides this one line:

Try to be more specific. There is still a lot of missing information here.

Show what is in /etc/grub.d/ when you have a chance.

This looks good actually. Did you reinstall Grub first?

Something like this:

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=*esp* --bootloader-id=GRUB

Or see what options you may need here: GRUB - ArchWiki

Then update Grub again, exit the chroot and reboot to test again.

You have these two statements on one line, but I think grub expects only one per line.
