Package: linux-image-amd64 Version: 4.9+80+deb9u6 Trying to boot will lead to a hung system after the message "loading initial ramdisk". Ctrl-Alt-Del will not work. I have to switch off the machine the hard way.
Workaround I: This behavior first appeared a while ago (maybe 2-3 months) after an update (as usual simply with synaptic) and after switching the machine off and on again the second try was always successful. Workaround II: Today the behavior changed and the problem became more severe. Switching the machine off and on again will no longer solve the problem. Instead I boot the same kernel into recovery mode. Then I press Ctrl-D to continue the boot process and everything seems normal. Environment: There are 3 operating systems present on my machine. Windows10, Debian Jessie and Debian Stretch. All started by the bootloader of Stretch. I use the XFCE Desktop environment. Kernel: Linux deb9tst 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux An additional remark: I remember there was quite recently a kernel update which asked me something about the configuration. I had the options to view the configurations, change them and so on. I decided to just use the old configuration file. The problem started short after this.
