I installed an m.2 SATA SSD into the device in addition to the old SATA SSD. However, it wouldn't boot properly. I decided to take it out, and now it won't boot using the existing SSD either. Does anyone know what could be the issue? So far, I've tried the following:

  1. Checking boot media order in BIOS
  2. Resetting BIOS
  3. Ensuring fstab used UUID's (it already did)
  4. Updating initramfs

I'm using Debian 6.1.38-2 (2023-07-27).

EDIT: Dran's suggestion to remove the /drive entry from fstab resolved the issue.
