Briefly describe your issue below:
At random times, Parrot becomes unbootable. I’ve got no idea how, but it seemed to happen mostly when VT-x was enabled in EUFI and when booting Windows. It has happened today again and it seems to be incredibly random, out of nowhere. I know this description of my problem is very vague but that is because I’m not really sure what is happening. This is a one-timer for me.
When this problem occurs, GRUB is just gone. It doesn’t show up in the boot order in my UEFI settings, but the motherboard and other software can still detect the disk.
Windows 10 and Parrot are installed on separate disks. The SMART readings indicate that the disk parrot is installed on is healthy and functioning.
What version of Parrot are you running?
Parrot security edition, installed from the latest ISO and updated to the latest packages as of 03/04/2019, running on 64-bit (amd64).
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
The debian standard installer. I did custom partitioning as follows:
- /dev/sdb1: is my /boot/efi partition, 142M large
- /dev/sdb2: is my /boot partition, 650M large
The rest of the disk is an encrypted LVM, which includes
- A 30GB SWAP partition
- the 267GB that remains is my root partition.
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
Yes, I have three disks to accomplish my multiboot.
/dev/sda is my 3TB storage drive that i primarily use while using windows (to install games etc.).
/dev/sdb is the drive where Parrot is installed.
/dev/sdc is my Windows 10 C:\ drive.
It must be noted that GRUB can successfully detect and boot both OS’s, before GRUB gets removed magically.
Secure boot is disabled, too.

This is probably the same problem that I’m having.
This too, but to me it didn’t occur after an update and reinstalling grub only temporarily fixes the issue.
If there are any error messages or relevant logs, post them below:
None, sadly.
