I am running arch with grub on an m.2 nvme ssd currently, and I am trying to install a second nvme ssd using a pcie adapter. When I put the pcie adapter/ssd in the pc, grub fails to load /boot. I assume this is some issue with my grub config? When I take the drive out it boots fine again. Is this some issue with the drive order? Where should I look first?

that sounds to me like it's a different grub that your system is trying to boot. Can you try manually selecting your old/current drive using the BIOS boot menu (F8 or ESC or whatever your system uses)

there is only one grub that shows up in the config
I dont remember if the other ssd contains a linux install or not
wicked elk
regardless, just try manually selecting your drive in the boot menu
lunar verge
I did

and then if you're still getting the error, take a photo of the error and paste it here
lunar verge
theres only one drive that shows up
wicked elk
what's the exact error
lunar verge
"failed to load /boot"
I can try it again later but I dont think there was much more info

I wonder if it could be an issue with the number of PCIe lanes, so maybe you can only have a m.2 or a PCIe adapter. Would be interesting to see if you can plug in both, and then boot from a Live USB and check whether you can see both your current m.2 drive and the one second NVMe.
