- Did you try searching info about this issue on search engine? Please write **No** or any URL to this issue bellow

Yes

4. How did you get this error? Are there any steps to procedure it?

1. I installed this
2. I ran this new software
3. It shows me this or that

Removed my SSD and replaced it with a Windows 10 SSD so I can update my bios, after updating the bios, I reconnected the parrot SSD. It does not boot to GRUB loader anymore.

nvme0n1p1 is my efi system partition, type is vFAT. nvme0n1p2 contains root and everything else, type is BTRFS.

I tried to mount p1 to /boot , /boot/efi, /mnt/boot/efi on different occasions.
I tried to mount p2 to /mnt.

Whenever I try to mount or bind, p1 and p2 will automatically be mounted to /mnt/@ and /mnt/@home.

i tried to do a grub-install command (after chrooting) with --target x86_x64-efi, with all combinations of --efi-directory and --root-directory, it would often come up asking if /boot has been mounted, it cant find an efi system (even though it is mapped as is.)

Every time I tried to chroot to /mnt, it would say it is not added to /bin/bash. chroot /mnt /bin/bash would not work too. I have to chroot /mnt/@ then i would be able to access as root.

6. If you have any idea or suggestion about this issue please tell us

** Your information **

Tried to follow the below guide and a few others but they arent specific enough as I am dealing with a x86_64 image and a SSD.
https://community.parrotsec.org/t/restoring-grub-efi/1914

I even tried to post on unix stackexchange but it is not fruitful yet. There are a lot of posts about other linux distros and different scenarios, none of them works in my context.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/640689/unable-to-install-grub-bootloader-for-parrot-os/640986#640986

If you are having suggestion for our OS, please write it bellow

1. Current Parrot version and Parrot version you want it has

2. Its section and how it affects our system

  • Pentesting / Forensic / Malware hunting / Privacy protection / …
  • It is: AppArmor profile / software / system service / kernel module…
  • when user runs this / start that, it can do…

3. Any other information about this idea

did you try this

my file system is not encrypted with LUKS though…

Quickest way I do it if any problems is create supergrub2 Usb, boot from it then once in Parrot OS, load up synaptic package manager search Grub select the 3 files for re-installation and apply when finished reboot always all good for me :slight_smile:

When you install anything in live mode, it will be installed in live mode only. That is why the tutorial always needs chroot.

then skip the LUKS

None of them work unfortunately.

That article i know what its talking about. I have another device with a completely different issue. Root partition is encrypted with luks. This parrot os issue is different. Yes i did try to chroot into /mnt/@ but i cant complete the grub-install command. It thinks that /boot is not mounted when it is. The strange bit is that when i chroot into mnt@, in /boot, i can see theres the vmlinuz, initramfs and device map files but when im not chroot in, the boot folder seems fairly empty. There is only a grubx64.efi in efi/parrot/. Now this is amiss. The other project i have is blackarch and when i mount the boot partition, i was able to install a linux package and that created vmlinuz and those image files. I did try to install intel microcode and even grub install works perfectly in its chroot /mnt.

Here is what I have in my /boot, with and without chroot. any more details of files or directories, please let me know.

9 directories, 326 files

Like I said it works for me the few times I tried it :slightly_smiling_face:

@dmknght i really need some help with getting my parrot os to show the grub again. I have spent a week trying to fix it. can you please message me directly and help me out?

The kernel files are still there but i just could not apt get anything because it thinks /dev/pts is not mounted and could not find the EFI directory. The EFI directory does map to /mnt/boot but the ssd hard drive automatically maps it to /mnt/@/boot.

I also tried to follow this guide but i feel there are some things I am not getting, basically I dont know what I should do next.
https://docs.parrotlinux.org/trbl/custom-kernel/
Also in the first apt install statement, I chroot into mnt and parrot does not understand what is unxz.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry i was busy working on 4.11 release.

I believe that is BTRFS. And if you read the tut, you can see i used path @ for the BTRFS for SSD.

The command mount with flag --bind is for this. It would be nice if you send all commands you used so i can understand it more. I can’t guess something happened on other user’s machine

@dmknght i might be looking at the wrong tut, can you please send me the link. sorry for being a pain…
and i will also try again all the steps and send you a copy to see. :slight_smile:

Here you go, i managed to mount and bind the directories but i still could not reinstall that image.

I did a sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p2 /mnt
and a sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
without any errors
