<br>
Instead of trying to boot from the NVMe drive, I updated the SATA SSD drive<br>
and set it up to boot EFI-stub. It booted right up, updated things, and<br>
generally settled into the new hardware with only minor problems. So far,<br>
then, it seems clear that I had at least two problems: (a) disabling Secure<br>
Boot, and (b) some undiagnosed problems about booting from the NVMe drive. <br>
<br>
While (a) might have been anticipated, (b) was a surprise, and I still<br>
don't know why the NVMe drive is problematic. But I can solve that problem <br>
later, with the help of all the suggestions and advice people have offered.<br>
Once I iron out the minor problems (no network), I'll then try booting from<br>
the NVMe drive via a bootloader -- rEFInd and GRUB2 have been proposed --<br>
to see if that helps. But having a working system makes it much less<br>
urgent.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you are currently using GRUB apparently a package update has blundered an initramfs hook. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://forum.manjaro.org/t/arch-new-kernel-packages-and-mkinitcpio-hooks/110960">https://forum.manjaro.org/t/arch-new-kernel-packages-and-mkinitcpio-hooks/110960</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>According to this post, that issue is solvable.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250674">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=250674</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>In a nutshell ...</div><div><br></div><div><code style="font-family:"Noto Mono",Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,"Adobe Source Code Pro","Lucida Console","Liberation Mono","DejaVu Sans Mono","Bitstream Vera Sans Mono","Courier New",monospace;font-size:15px;color:rgb(51,51,51);background:rgb(248,248,248)">sudo mkinitcpio -P</code><br style="color:rgb(18,17,18);font-family:"IBM Plex Sans","Noto Sans",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:15px;background-color:rgb(254,254,254)"><code style="font-family:"Noto Mono",Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,"Adobe Source Code Pro","Lucida Console","Liberation Mono","DejaVu Sans Mono","Bitstream Vera Sans Mono","Courier New",monospace;font-size:15px;color:rgb(51,51,51);background:rgb(248,248,248)">sudo update-grub</code></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
