Upgrade issue... the system is not booting anymore

Post by makoto2020 »

Hello everybody,
After the last upgrade process my system is not booting anymore. It seems that the /boot partition had not enough space left during the installation, producing an error.
I accessed my system connecting through chroot and tryied to reinstall GRUB but nothing is working.
This is strange:

Code: Select all

root@mint:~# uname -a
Linux mint 5.15.0-41-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 22 14:20:53 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
But looking in the boot folder, I see this :

Code: Select all

I do not see any image of 5.15.0-41-generic kernel installed ?

So the error trying to boot is this :
Volume groupe "vgmint" not found
Cannot process volume groupe vgmint
Give up waiting for root file system device.
Common problems :
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
-Missingmodules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/vgmint-root does not exist. Dropping to shell !
So :

Code: Select all

root@mint:/boot# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/linuxmint.seed boot=casper iso-scan/filename= quiet splash --
And the command cat /proc/modules gives me an endless list of modules.

Code: Select all

An alert appears : /dev/mapper/vgmint-root
But when I list the /dev/mapper folder I can see the link vgmint-root

So I wanted to install the kernel image 5.15.0-41-generic but it seems I do not have internet in chroot...

What can I do ? Can I install the kernel image 5.15.0-41-generic to the system from Live CD ?

Well I try to install grub again :

Code: Select all

root@mint:/dev/mapper# grub-install /dev/nvme0n1
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
I'll try to reboot now to see if the problem is solved but I did it before with no success...

Re: Upgrade issue... the system is not booting anymore

Post by makoto2020 »

I rebooted with no luck... :?

Then, after rebooting in Live, I found the Boot Repair application in the menu of Mint. I followed the instructions but nothing worked... same error, always... Well, I think I'll have to re install all the system again... :oops:

Any idea before reinstallation ? :(
