I cannot get further than GRUB except to rescue mode, when I attempt to boot the main Fedora OS it gets stuck on searching for a disk indefinitely. Gets stuck on Job dev-disk-by\<many symbols>.device/start running (1h / no limit) in the console.

I have a Windows partition on same drive, it also doesn’t boot, it’s rescue command prompt (from where you are instructed to open notepad to rescue files) doesn’t “see” any disk but C: and X: (emerg boot).

I tried booting this machine with two live OS USBs: Fedora and SystemRescue. Neither of them list the SSD (or anything but the USB drive FS itself) in lsblk or the file manager.

Due to lack of storage mediums, I haven’t done a backup in a while. How can I rescue the files? Many passwords are also stuck there, in Firefox manager I wasn’t able to sync due to losing access to the 2FA email.

Edit: SOLVED! Needed to switch disk mode in BIOS/UEFI from RAID to AHCI. IDK how it got to RAID in the first place.

      This seems suspicious

      Found 1 remapped NVMe devices.
Switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI mode to use them.

      Have you setup a RAID?

        Don’t recall doing so. I think I saw something about automatic switch to/from RAID and AHCI in boot logs?

        I’ve actually seen “something/AHCI/RAID” switch in BIOS set to RAID. Will try switching to AHCI.

        Edit: IT WORKED! I changed RAID to AHCI, now the system boots as expected. Thank you. Will change to solved.
