I haven't rebooted wheezy for a while... and there have been many updates .. I'm not sure which ones have caused this problem but when bootup starts I get to grub and immediately a prompt rather than a selection screen.
It shows grub version 1.99 ?? something.. so is that grub2... It must be since I do not recognize most of what I see. For example, I can type `help' and a massive flood of commands flash past leaving only the last screenful visible... there seems no way to page this mess, so it is mostly useless. Pressing <TAB> shows a gout of other commands with no newlines just all in a blob. Given what I see, I have no idea at all how to proceed or why this has happened. OK, grub2 by itself will never let me see how to get booted. Its setup all wrong for that to happen, I mean how ridiculous is it to offer a fountain of commands you can see for 1/50 of a second? So digging up directions from google.. set root (hd0,1) (in grub1 that would be hd0,0) linux /vm<tab> boot OK, now were talking... but whoops.. kernel panic .. just paraphrasing: `unable to mount root on unknown block' What the heck has happened to my poor wheezy? I'm bunrning a systemRescue cd now... but any suggestions will be most welcome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
