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.
I think I tested the SSD-out scenario without live in.
Only USB drive itself shows under by-id. I don’t have a Windows install USB, the windows I talked about is a partition on the broken disk. It does see the Linux partition with DiskPart but can’t mount it or extract files from BTRFS.
LSPCI lists many cryptic names, “RAID bus controller” sounds like the most promising one. https://termbin.com/287u
