[qubes-users] Need to fix boot process broken by kernel update. Data is safe.

2021-02-09 Thread Ranjeet Shetye
Hi,

Is there a standard HOWTO I can follow to fix the boot process (to go from
a grub / xen.cfg that fails to LUKS decrypt and load unencrypted rootfs)

I am reasonably knowledgeable about Linux. Gaps exist in my knowledge
regarding BIOS and UEFI boot processes.

Unfortunately the grub update for the kernel upgrade seems to have messed
up the boot process. How do I figure out if it's installed for BIOS or UEFI
mode ?

My data is safe and LUKS encrypted . I can use a live USB to decrypt it,
access it and I also have made 2 backup copies.

So with nothing to lose I tried to fix the boot manually from a live USB
including creating /etc/default/grub but situation is no better.

Between BIOS / (UEFI) / grub2 / xen / vmlinuz / LUKS / LVM2 , I am lost
where the fix might be. Might be grub flags, grub modules, grub defaults,
xen cfg, EFI manager etc. Hence my question.

Thanks,
Ranjeet

Re: [qubes-users] kernel crashes (?) 5.10.13

haaber:

I am testing the above xen kernel. I experience random freezes of the
system, with no significant "last words" in the logs, if it is not many
many  qmemman notices like these (sorry for the length). Is this a known
issue?? Any hints to stabilite the system?   Cheers!


Anything in the Xen log (xl dmesg)? Some other debugging tips if it is 
Xen freezing are listed at the beginning of 
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Debugging_Xen before the stuff about 
Xenstore, and https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console to 
capture Xen oops messages. Not sure if there's a more state of the art 
way to do it. You might also want to mention it in 
https://github.com/QubesOS/updates-status/issues for the specific kernel 
you're testing.
