When loading qubes, it takes longer than normal and asks for a root password and enters into shell.
I get the errors:
“Warning: /dev/qubes_dom0/root does not exist”
“Warning: Not all disks have been found.”
“Warning: You might want to regenerate your initramfs”
/dev/qubes_dom0/swap does not exist
crypto LUKS UUID ****************** (long character string) not found
I cannot figure out how to bypass this. I don’t want to erase and reinstall information on this drive so I need this fixed.
Updated BIOS firmware and tried again with no success.
I cannot figure out how to burn: rEFIt file using RUFUS ISO image burner to a extra flash drive. This may be able to find my drives.
I also tried multiple shell commands to find my drive volume number and I cannot figure that out.

I did try this suggestion with no success: Lost EFI entry in boot menu after removing and re-connecting drive - #8 by 51lieal
When I see the new drive and click it to boot it up, it will just take me directly to windows 10.

Also, I tried this: Lost EFI entry in boot menu after removing and re-connecting drive - #11 by 51lieal
I am unable to identify my exact directory name.
I tried command: lsblk and it does nothing.
I believe my directory name is sdc3 because when using the recovery boot usb, it does mention this directory name and asks me to login to root with the password.
Hi @lovely , welcome to the Community!
Just guessing. Did you attempt to restore your installation with the using a Qubes USB stick?

@fsflover I tried that. It does the same thing. How do you recommend restoring it? it goes to the same shell screen
I tried rescue a qubes os system.
Should I try troubleshooting? do we have next steps for each of these processes? I’m willing to pay someone for the help.

@fsflover I performed the qubes os system step and it asks for my password then after it will say “you dont have any partitions. Rebooting”

Unfortunately this is beyond my level of expertise. All I can do is to point out to a couple of semi-relevant threads:
Has any consideration been given to a tier of paid support? I noticed that whonix has a paid support option , no clue how much it costs but for the issue I have (not one response in 2 weeks) I’d be willing to pay $50-$75? That is likely not much I realize (about as much as i could afford) but I really really wanted to try to figure it out and I could not elicit one response despite my trying to add more information etc. I completely realize I am owed nothing and this is free software but having …
After a hard shutdown, my Qubes OS 4.1 has broken. It did not allow me to start any VMs with the error something like

After trying these commands (I shouldn’t have done it!)
I completely broke the boot and it is now stuck at

I am willing to pay $50 + tip in BTC to anyone who can provide 1on1 support to solve this ASAP.
My other thread isn’t getting any user support.
I get the errors in shell after the gui boot screen:
“Warning: /dev/qubes_dom0/root does not exist”
“Warning: Not all disks have been found.”
“Warning: You might want to regenerate your initramfs”
/dev/qubes_dom0/swap does not exist

Even in such case, you should not create new topics for the same problem. Every new post in your original thread puts it to the top of Qubes OS Forum , so if anyone can help, they should already see it. I’m merging this thread to there to help other users find (future) solution more easily.

Hi,
please let me understand…
If You boot from usb , get a recovery shell and try lsblk /dev/sdc3, what’s the UUID You get?
Cheers,
M.

I think Mila is on the right track – my question would be:
Does the output from[1]
lsblk /dev/sdc3 | grep luks
match what GRUB has as
rd.luks.uuid=luks-...
?
[1] Adjust sdc3
to match the name of your drive.

@mila It says “not a block device” when typing lsblk /dev/sdc3 in shell using recovery
@ChrisA
same thing when i type in: lsblk /dev/sdc3 | grep luks
"not a block device"
I checked gparted in a different linux distro, and these are the /dev’s i found below
/dev/sdc1 = EFI System partition Fat32 600mib (7.89 mib used) flags = boot; esp
/dev/sdc2 | file system: ext4 | 1 gib
