When I installed Kubuntu 18.04 onto my then new nvme drive, I simply created a GPT on it, then an ext4 partition /dev/nvme0n1p1 and a swap partition /dev/nvme0n1p2. I left some space unallocated for a future system.
Now the time for that allocated space has come: I want to use OpenSuse. I let the installer do its automated thing (merely checked it wouldn't override my existing ext4 partition) and ended up with two new partitions in the previously unallocated area of the storage medium: /dev/nvme0n1p3 is a fat16 partition according to KDE Partition Manager (the installed called it something like "v-fat") and /dev/nvme0n1p4 is a btrfs partition.
My problem is that my computer still only boots Kubuntu. In grub, only this system is shown. The UEFI configuration thingy seems to view the entire nvme drive as a whole (even though it even splits thumb drives into anywhere between 2 and 5 parts).
I tried running sudo update-grub on Kubuntu. It didn't change anything.
I also tried running sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 and sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p1, both only resulting in error messages:
$ sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
$ sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p1
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
I then read up on the problem and tried to install grub on the fat partition that the OpenSuse installer created:
$ sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p3
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `fat' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
This answer did not help either:
$ sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
