Today was LMDE day, so when I tried to boot it the first time today it went to a TTY type shell, I believe I could reboot out of it, and on second boot, selecting LMDE from the grub menu out of 7 installs on the machine, it booted fine to the GUI.
I did some fiddling on the interweb and then ran an apt dist-upgrade . . . it showed 20 or so packages, many with the name "cinnamon" in front of the package . . . did not see any kernels listed. I ran the packages through and then suspended the machine for breakfast.
When I came back to the machine, I had the same problem I've had with a couple other systems, the machine itself spins up, but the display remains black and does not revive from suspend. Had to hit the power button to shut down.
On cold boot, again selecting LMDE @sdb8 . . . machine boots to a TTY ER shell, which I could log into . . . it gave me some hints to try "journalctl -xb" . . . so I did that. There were a few errors . . . something like "dead zone" was mentioned, nothing "catastrophic" seemed to be mentioned. Somewhere in either the dmesg going to the TTY ER, or in the journalctl data I saw "Leap 15.6"????? Leap 15.6 / is located in sda8 . . . .
I checked /etc/fstab && lsblk -f in this shell and it seemed to be showing me the UUID data for sda . . . but in the sdb locations???
I've had similar problems with ubuntu systems where the system wants to be in charge of grub, but, in this case I did not install a boot loader for LMDE, because I have another system handling grub, for that very reason. In this case it seems like LMDE is mixing sda UUIDs over to the sdb UUIDs, so I'm not sure if I try to boot LMDE again, if it in fact is going to that system, OR whether it is booting Leap 15.6, therefore I won't be able to edit /etc/fstab for LMDE???
I took some screenshots in the ER shell, but don't know enough about SSHing or sending TTY data to a location to be able to check it, but I'm now in Leap 15.6 and I ran the same commands . . . it looks like the data LMDE is using is the Leap 15.6 data, posted below.
Any thoughts on a fix? Or, it's the nuke and the pave??
