What do I need to do to get grub menu up at boot after I connect my SSD drives?
Machine has a 1TB HDD that I may or not keep. I really don’t need a Win10 hassle.
My SSD’s have leap already on them,
And will the update/upgrade to 15.5 when it is released, cause boot problems considering 15.4 is still a grub boot menu system.
Useful information lacking, useless information present. We don’t have your partitions, filesystems or installed operating systems memorized, and can’t see over your shoulder. What does “15.4 is still a grub boot menu system” supposed to imply? What partitioning is present on all the installed drives. How many ESPs are present? How are you booting now? Where is Grub now? What does sudo efibootmgr report?
It may be nothing is necessary but to make an appropriate menu selection after striking your PC’s BBS key during POST, but you might need to enter BIOS setup to wake the BIOS up to the presence of added SSDs, and/or move one to top of boot priority list.
Like 15.4, 15.5 will be a minor release. How booting works won’t materially change, if it changes at all.
Be prepared. You may need to reinstall grub2 using a rescue or live system.
Delete the Windows 10 partitions and the corresponding entries in the EFI System Partition.
By default upgrading to 15.5 will reinstall grub2. However creative users tend create their own problems.
MrMazda, these hard slaps on the back of my head are getting old!
I’ll NEVER be able to suit your posting needs! Why even bother with another head slap?
