Boot into your live session usb and in terminal copy & paste the following command and reboot, see what happens then.

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

If your are able to boot w/o problem, I think that is part of the grub-initrd-fallback.service. Post back following codes result

Code: Select all

systemctl status grub-initrd-fallback.service
Notice it is how that process is named (GRUB failed boot detection) so maybe it is not failed but succeeded.

This is one of the systemd grub services I don't know what is for (maybe it is only to register boot is ok and troubleshooting in case it is not or maybe it is usefull just in case of systemd-boot...l) and most probably can be disabled. Wait for another user to confirm. :wink:
