That was my initial thought, so I booted into UEFI and the Windows
Boot Manager had been made the default boot option, Fedora was still
listed so I selected that. The grub menu came up with all my kernels
listed but selecting one just resulted in an error about being unable
to find a file or something like that. Also the option in grub for
booting into Windows resulted in a similar error. Hence me trying to
reinstall the bootloader.
This system was originally installed on Fedora 32 or 33 and upgraded
so it may be time for a reinstall, I have backups so nothing will be
lost apart from time.
/etc/default/grub: line 6: usb-storage.quirks=0x0bc2:0xab25:e: command not found
warning: %posttrans(grub2-common-1:2.06-8.fc35.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
On the internal drive, the "usb-storage.quirks" entry had been left outside
the quoted "rhgb quiet" entry in /etc/default/grub.conf. I'm not sure how or
when the usb-storage.quirks entry was added -- still need to find time to
research those values and look for them in backups. I removed the "rhgb
quiet" entry long ago, so it was added by the upgrade..
