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) If
so, are you able mount your actual root partiton (sda5) manually?

No, unfortunately. 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 modules. In regard of file systems, it only loads a ext2 module, and the root partition is ext4 formated.

Although this kernel has ext2, ext3 and ext4 built in (not modules), can this be a cue? Right now I am preparing to format the root partition as ext2, just to check this out.

Thanks again

Francisco
