Hi,
I haven't tried switching. One of the slots is under some CPU cooler
fans, and I don't have the stuff to remove/deal with that at the moment.
I believe I'm using direct EFI. The first SSD, where I have all my
original data, under `fdisk -l` shows one of the devices
having the "EFI System" type.
My old drive has name nvme1n1, and it has a UUID with "c04b", which
matches what is under "rd.luks.uuid" in xen.cfg under EFI/qubes when I
mount the "EFI System" device.
The newer drive has name nvme0n1, and it has UUID with "fe3d". This
newer disk shows up in the dracut shell when I do `blkid`, but the older
one is missing

After doing that, booting Qubes only puts me into Dracut Emergency
Shell.

Hi,
Have you tried switching the hard disks slots? Are you using direct EFI
or GRUB?

then `fdisk -l` to find the names of all my AppVMs, etc., so it's not
like the space was wiped.
What numbers has your old disk assigned? Theorically the boot hard disk
uuid is passed as kernel argument: "rd.luks.uuid=......" So a change
with major/minor numbers should not affect.
If you are using EFI to boot the system, check in the bios which disk
that efi is defaulting to. It is odd that your original disk has the
"1n1" numbering and the new disk is "0n1". That may have confused the
efi boot ordering.
