Is this the old kernel?

It is a Debian 9 Stretch kernel. What does 'dpkg-query -W | grep linux' report?

Thank You.

I suggest you navigate through your Grub menu and try to find a selection whose label includes 5.10.0-28 and/or 5.10.209 and try to boot it normally. If you are unable to find such an option, please attach file /boot/grub/grub.cfg to this thread.

I suggest also that you run these commands, preferably before doing anything else, to ensure freespace is a non-issue, among other reasons:

Code:

sudo apt purge linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae
sudo apt purge linux-image-3.16.0-10-686-pae

After running those two commands, show here input/ouput from:

Code:

ls -l /vm* /in* /boot

What results when you select to boot from the menu entry described thus?:
Code:
```
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.9.0-18-686-pae'
```
If you:
1. select for booting the default entry described 'Debian GNU/Linux'
2. strike the E key
3. navigate to the end of the line beginning 'linu'
4. remove 'ro' and remove 'quiet'
5. add in their place '3'
6. proceed with boot via 'F10' or 'Ctrl-X'
What result follows?
|
If above produce panic, try repeating, except instead of typing '3', type 'systemd.unit=multi-user.target' before proceding, and then report result.

Code:

'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.9.0-18-686-pae'

Sorry
I dont understand.

I do booting.
Then there is this line?

Booting.
I chose "recovery"
If I dont chose this: panic.

Quote:

select for booting the default entry described 'Debian GNU/Linux'

I do booting
when do I have to see this?
Do I say "E" before the recovery mode is offered?

Quote:

remove 'ro' and remove 'quiet'
add in their place '3'

I do clean away ro at the ende
and repcae it by quiet
and where do I have to put in "3"?

Thank You.

According to the grub.cfg file you pasted here instead of following the directions given to attach the file, when the Grub menu appears, the following is approximately what you should see (if your menu is in English):

Code:

Debian GNU/Linux
Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux

From it you need to select Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux. After you do you should see a longer list of selections. The first one should be 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.10.0-28-686-pae'. That's the one I want you to highlight (if it is not already highlighted), then strike the E key, following which move the cursor to ro quiet and remove them, and in that space add '3'. It should be on the same line where root=UUID= appears, and which started with linu. Sometimes this line starting with linu doesn't fit completely, and so wraps onto another line. If it does, pretend the two lines are only one line, and put 3 at the end.

That "Advanced" menu should provide 4 selections described as 'recovery mode' and another 4 not so described. I want you to try one that does not show 'recovery mode', but with the modification described above before proceeding to boot using the F10 key or Ctrl-X. If panic occurs this way, take a photograph of your whole display output and attach it or pastebin it.

I dont want to make You angry.
I do and try my best to follow.

As far as I understand
You asked me do do it
in post 37
and post 157 is the same instruction.
Is this right?
The only difference I should make a photo with the output
when there will be appaear the panic.
Is this another screen than
I posted here the panic screen
made with the digicam?

Regards.

Sorry again for stupid asking.

I don't see any panic screen images posted here, and don't remember having seen any. However, this is a very very long thread and I can't remember everything already discussed, or remember what to expect to find in trying to review.

colorpurple21859 · 02-29-2024, 05:03 AM

I would also like an updated screenshot of the panic with as many lines as possible showing before the panic

beginstart · 02-29-2024, 09:42 AM

I tried to uploag png from HD.

This did happen:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

So I did this:

AT the grub menu press e for edit, add this to the end of the linux line:

Code:

boot_delay=10

ctrl-x or f10 to boot

What is output of free command?

beginstart · 03-04-2024, 07:48 AM

I did change the task
end of linux line
f10
Panic.
Im sorry.

You can boot your Debian 11 installation media and select

Code:

Advanced options
Rescue mode

which will start the installation system in rescue mode. After initialization and selection of your /dev/sda1 / filesystem on your disk you will be presented with a Rescue operations menu:

Code:

Execute a shell in /dev/sda1
Execute a shell in the installer environment
Reinstall GRUB boot loader
Choose a different root file system
Reboot the system

Because of the thread title, I suggest to try "Reinstall GRUB boot loader". If this succeeds, you should be able to boot from HD and the problem should be solved. If this fails, report as best you can the results in as much detail as possible. While awaiting a response, or before reporting, you may start over and try the first option "Execute a shell in /dev/sda1". If this succeeds, you will actually be running your installed Debian system, from which I would try the following operations (in order):

df ## ensure the / filesystem has ample freespace
# ensure /etc/apt/sources.list has no uncommented lines that do not contain the string "bullseye". If any do, abort after making a copy of that file that you can paste here exactly to get instructions what to do next.
apt clean
apt update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get full-upgrade
apt --fix-broken install ## only if the previous commands end in apparent failure
Ctrl-D ## exit rescue mode
choose "Reboot the system"

If apparently successful, at this point I would shutdown and try to boot the installed system normally without using nomodeset. If not successful, please copy and paste here the content of /etc/apt/sources.list from your installed Debian system on /dev/sda1.

All I have written in this post was done in conjunction with booting Debian 11.9 installation media burned to USB from a Pentium 4 PC with multiple Gnu/Linux installations, including Debian 11. I actually booted using USB into the installed Debian 11 system and performed the above steps 1-6 (skipping #2) successfully, which installed linux-image-5.10.0-28-686. I then shutdown, removed the USB stick, booted Debian 11, and produced what follows:
