So I want to install Debian 12 on my machine, and the installer just -kind of- worked. I couldn’t use the live USB with all the cool UI stuff, I had to use the normal installer without the whole DE. But that worked. I have Debian 12 now on my SSD. I can even access it through the “rescue mode” using the Debian USB as shown in the first picture. But actually booting from it is a whole other story. I can select it as a boot option, but it says that this drive doesn’t have an operating system on it. It can be seen in the second picture.

Has anyone an idea on what could be going on here?

    Classic “I wiped my ESP.” Reinstall GRUB or whatever bootloader Debian uses from a chroot.
