Some other idea: As the kernel boots, but does not find the root-partition, I am stopping at the shell (initramfs) Is there anything I can do from this point? I also see, that the kernel tries to find some "block" device, but i am not sure, what he actually does Kernel output is:

Hi Stefan, that is easy to explain. The kernel is searching for a device with the special UUID. As I changed the size of the partition with gparted, the UUID changed. Now the kernel says: This UUID is not existent, what is correct (kernel param: root=UUID=MyUUIDX) I can not get the new

I already thought of this. Problem is in the BIOS, as I can not set AHCI there (Menu disappeared), so no Linux sees the device. > I hate to say this: you need to reinstall Windows 11, potentially and then > reinstall Debian. AHCI is the appropriate setting - maybe if you wipe the > machine it
