Hi everyone, need any help, because I am stuck.

Today I got my External SSD and I installed the 2-nd Qubes OS on this Drive (the first one was been installed on my internal Laptop drive.

But to my surprise, when I tried to load my first Qubes OS, I couldn't. In BIOS my drive is visible like working device, but in Boot Menu it does not exist anymore.

I tried to go into the Rescue mode and successfully put my LUKS passphrase, but I got Error message:
You Don't have any Linux partitions.

(and it seems ok for developers, that Anaconda Rescue is broken - https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5609, they tell that it is about security reason)

Also I checked this Partition via Live USB Fedora, so main partition is working with my files.

But now I don't know hot to create new Boot Menu, anybody know how to do that?

Search this mailing list for "efibootmgr"- you should find an example
command on how to recreate your Qubes EFI boot menu entry.

Thanks a lot!

In my case I loaded from Live USB Fedora and used the command:

efibootmgr -v -c -L Qubes -l /EFI/qubes/xen.efi -d /dev/nvme0n1p1
