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 issue, and might be working.=C2=A0 Going to explore the grub conso= le now.

Thanks
Francisco


In the grub con= sole, prior to boot, I was able to mount any partition using commands like:=

root=3D(hd0,msdos5)

<= div class=3D"gmail_extra"> and then listing the directory tree structure with " ls / " gave = the expected results.
