Hi Sophie, We are asking you questions because we can't see you, we can't see what you type, we need clear information. It's like playing chess by post: every time we ask for details on what you have - what has happened, how the pieces are laid out - we get an "I have a chess problem" message. In your reply, please try and answer each of the questions written below *under* the question so it is clear. If you only have a phone to reply, that's OK, but please reply to one question at a time in that case. Please try and keep to the subject of the message. I have changed that to "Problem booting the machine" I expect your reply to be something like AW: Problem booting the machine First - and most important question - is this your only computer? If so, I would not want to break it further but in order to fix it, we will need more information. Second question - is this the computer that you mail us from to this list or are you using some other device to mail us? Your reply above has given more information: this happened after you upgraded from Debian 10 to Debian 11. Third question - Even if it's now more than two years ago: can you remember whether the upgrade completed successfully? Fourth question -Is it that when the computer starts - and you get a (blue or green??) first screen with white writing, it lists several kernels to choose from? Fifth question - If you have only one kernel listed, then under that may be a "rescue" option - is that what you use to boot the machine every day? If so, then *what do you type* to get into the system: what commands? Sixth question - One line may list the Debian 11 kernel version - with 5.10 - or may list the Debian 10 kernel version - with 4.19 Which do you select / which one works? Thank you in advance for your replies Andy (amaca...@debian.org) > <snip Dan's list of questions - which are also useful> >
