I'd suspect you can probably bypass it by selecting your old kernel before the update. I've had that issue a few times my self on Qubes and various other Linux systems. If you run Grub, then instead select "Advanced" and go in and select the second kernel instead of the top one (which is the newly installed and now default kernel). The lowest kernel is the one installed before the one that worked before. Qubes saves up to 3 kernels by default, if needed it can be extended indefinitely, but 3 is usually enough. If you installed Qubes over EFI/UEFI instead of Legacy BIOS, then you'll need to pick a live boot medium, or use the Qubes installer to enter rescue mode, and then navigate to your /boot/efi/'somewhere here abouts' and find your xen.cfg file. In this file you can edit which kernel EFI boot mode should boot with. If any of the associated kernel/module updates broke something else, like for example a hardware like Wifi/networking, then it becomes much more tricky. It's often, in my experence at least, typically easy to recover from bad kernels and at least boot it up. The question is more, if something else stopped working too, albeit in my experience it's typically enough to just pick the last kernel. Also, if you succesfully get into Qubes again, then I'd recommend you increase your max saved kernels with 'sudo nano /etc/dnf/dnf.conf' and locate the line called Installonly_limit=3 to 5 or abouts. The reasoning for this, is because if another future kernel upgrade also fails, then you'll get no more chances of easy recovery if all working kernels were automatically deleted during the update. If you set it to 5, it'll then save 5 kernels. Just be sure your kernel partition has enough disk space to house older kernels associated with the number of kernels you choose to save. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
