I updated my BIOS a few days ago, and it reset my bios settings. I have my two m.2 slots populated with drives. After the bios reset my fedora based system (Nobara Linux) wouldn’t boot. I had to use journalctl to get logs. The noteworthy error basically said it didn’t see one of drives anymore that was in fstab. The solution took me a bit to find, but basically one of the m.2 slots by default on this Asus motherboard is disabled to free up a sata slot or something. Once I re-enabled it and rebooted everything worked again.
Might not be the same issue you had but definitely look at the journalctl logs. I did pop the error messages into Gemini to help me understand it, but a web search will probably work if you don’t like ai responses.
