I cannot get further than GRUB except to rescue mode, when I attempt to boot the main Fedora OS it gets stuck on searching for a disk indefinitely. Gets stuck on Job dev-disk-by\<many symbols>.device/start running (1h / no limit) in the console.
I have a Windows partition on same drive, it also doesn’t boot, it’s rescue command prompt (from where you are instructed to open notepad to rescue files) doesn’t “see” any disk but C: and X: (emerg boot).
I tried booting this machine with two live OS USBs: Fedora and SystemRescue. Neither of them list the SSD (or anything but the USB drive FS itself) in lsblk or the file manager.
Due to lack of storage mediums, I haven’t done a backup in a while. How can I rescue the files? Many passwords are also stuck there, in Firefox manager I wasn’t able to sync due to losing access to the 2FA email.
Edit: SOLVED! Needed to switch disk mode in BIOS/UEFI from RAID to AHCI. IDK how it got to RAID in the first place.


Can you post your dmesg output from booting a live USB? Maybe there will be a clue in there.
How is this ssd connected? Nvme? Sata?
It appears the time was broken, the logs were new.
Here are logs from the live USB, this link expires in 2 weeks, I will preserve it if you’ll find anything relevant there: https://termbin.com/975x
NVMe
There are some ideas here:

I think the key line is SATA link down (SStatus 4 SControl 300)
Yeah, already solved, check the update. Mode was set to RAID over AHCI for some reason.
