I have some more information to add to my initial message. I have opened the computer to make sure the hard drive has a good connection to the motherboard and it does.
I have also tried typing `,bt` at the "scheme@(guile-user)>" prompt the output is included below. Note there is a solid white square single character symbol in the output and I am representing it as "***" in the output below. The line in the output that catches my attention is: "1 (copy-file "/etc/static/resolv.conf" "/etc/resolv.conf")" This catches my attention because I took this computer to second location where I tried connecting to a WiFi network. I was getting domain name resolution errors and was not able to connect to the internet. I resolved the domain name resolution errors by doing 2 things: 1) editing /etc/resolv.conf changing it to a single line that set a specific nameserver 2) I ran this command `chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf` After doing these two things the internet connection was okay. When I was done in the second location I powered off the computer and moved to a third location and when it tried to turn on the computer in the third location I was stuck at this scheme prompt. I think that if I ran the command `chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf` it might fix the problem and allow the system to boot however I get an error when I try typing that at the scheme prompt. Any suggestions on how I should get a Linux console terminal so I can enter the `chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf` command? I could try booting an operating system in memory and then use a disk encryption program to decrypt the hard drive with my passphrase and then run `chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf`. What disk encryption program should I use to decrypt the hard disk?
