On a failed boot, can you reach the rescue system from the initramfs?=
(The message is something like "enter password for rescue or ctrl+d) I= f
so, are you able mount your actual root partiton (sda5) manually?


No, unf= ortunately. But I am able to use the grub console prior to boot.

By doing so, I have listed the command about = to be used to boot the first entry in the grub menu, it installs some modul= es. In regard of file systems, it only loads a ext2 module, and the root pa= rtition is ext4 formated.

Although this kernel has ext2, ext3 an= d ext4 built in (not modules), can this be a cue?=C2=A0 Right now I am prep= aring to format the root partition as ext2, just to check this out.

Thanks again
Francisco

It didn't work,= so I suppose the embedded ext2, ext3 and ext4 in the kernel is not the iss= ue, and might be working.=C2=A0 Going to explore the grub console now.
