The system seems to try to mount the root file system, which seems to be
specified in the fstab by UUID. It doesn't. This can have several reasons:

 1) the root fs is somehow broken
 2) some rescue procedure has changed the UUID
 3) perhaps some more

> Am I supposed to be able to sort it out from there?

In theory, yes. Knowledge and practice with initramfs doesn't to seem
widespread, alas. See here [1]. *If* you know which one is your root
partition, you might try to mount it and exit the initramfs shell for
the boot process to continue.

Alternatively, you might want to boot a rescue system, find out whether
you are 1) or 2) above. In case 1) fix, in case 2 boot again with "root=..."
and fix your initramfs afterwards.

In case 3) try to gather more info and come back :)

oh the initramfs prompt... that is not the place to fix it easily.
much easier to stop while booting grub (like asking for the menuitem,
you are used to boot into, read that and next get a grub prompt (c) and
boot the system by hand. Of course, i did play with grub before in order
to be accustomed to do that in case of emergency. the grub help command
is just barely enough to be reminded of what you already know, not more.

And you should know, thet the idea behind UUID#s (Unique Universal
Identifiers) is, that they should be unique (at least on one system).
maybe just removing one of the duplicates can be enough to circumvent
the error?

I am juggling with disks and partitions frequently. And would like you
to be awarem that there are different UUID#s involved. One resides in th
filesystem ext2/3/4 itself, and can be modified with tune2fs -U (while
fs is at rest/unmounted)

The other one site inside GPT, but you can change that also ((s)gdisk is
your friend).

But all that is meaningless, if you dont find the other end of the
equation (like fstab, or grub scripts) that reference the said UUID's.

But step by step you will get there, just be prepared to reboot several
times and work your way up the chain.

I had a similar experienced yesterday.  The solution was to boot the

all disks except the one I want, create a boot table entry for that 
disk, save settings, and reboot into Debian.

It depends on what can't find what. If UEFI BIOS are involved, it can be both
easier and harder to deal with than for MBR booting. Lots of buggy UEFI BIOS are
around to complicate what should make things easier harder. A fix could be as 
easy
as either clearing NVRAM of existing entries, or booting removable media to run
efibootmgr to either clear existing entry(s) and/or add a new one. It's also
possible the ESP partition's UUID is included in the initrd and needs to be
overridden with rd.hostonly=0 and/or rd.auto=1 on Grub's linu line.

So tell us, is this with UEFI, MBR, or a mixture? What hardware was in the 
source,
and what in the destination? How many disks in the destination? How many 
operating
systems on the disk(s)? Can you boot an installed system using installation 
media?

As always, as long as required drivers are included in the initrd, if you know
enough about device names, filesystem LABELs and filesystems involved, booting 
can
be accomplished manually from a Grub prompt without involving UUIDs, but from an
initramfs prompt it can be harder or impossible.

I'm running Debian/Bookworm on an ASUS FA506IC laptop. It's got an AMD 
Ryzen processor but an NVidia graphics card that provides me with 
great evidence for why I had previously avoided NVidia cards. I'm 
running Bookworm because I couldn't get it work on Bullseye.


It'd been running OK with the proprietary drivers (but not the 
Nouveau) until earlier today. I don't use it very often so it was 
probably a few weeks since I last updated it. I had trouble the 
previous time I'd updated it too, but that was the move to the 
non-free-firmware section that messed it up. Once I added the new 
section to the sources, things worked again.


The symptoms I'm getting are the same as what it used to display when 
I tried to use sddm to start the desktop. Gdm3 and lightdm both worked 
in the past but now I'm getting the same symptom with all of them - a 
blank screen with a cursor flashing in the top-left corner. At that 
point I can't even bring up a text console, but I can reboot 
(ctrl-alt-del still works).


I can boot to a recovery mode and start the network, but not sure how 
to track this down. Removing and reinstalling the NVidia driver didn't 
help. Trying to start the desktop without the NVidia driver (and 
firmware) installed also didn't work. I still get the system booting 
to a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top let corner.


Any ideas?

Thanks.

I got some time this afternoon to play around with the system. My first 
effort was to go back to Debian/Bullseye (11.7) and do a fresh install. 
Surprisingly, it worked this time. I could boot into Gnome without 
problems. However I had no wifi. Changing to sddm however led to failure 
to reach a login screen. Installing lightdm let me select Plasma 5 
however. This is all with the Nouveau drivers.


However the wifi issue needed to be resolved. It turns out there are 
working (non-free) drivers available but they require a more recent 
kernel. I added bullseye-backports and installed the newer kernel and 
firmware-misc-non-free. This led to a failure to reach a login screen 
(in fact, the boot appears to hang after producing about 4 lines of 
output but booting to recovery mode let me see that it failed loading 
the Nouveau drivers).


Installing the nvidia-driver allowed the system to reach a graphical 
login but the system was not very stable. The difference in kernel 
versions was giving me a lot of errors so I tried to upgrade completely 
to Bookworm. That got me back to the point I was at when I first posted 
my original problem. I couldn't get to a working graphical login.


This led me back to the Debian site to download the latest Bookworm 
installer. The RC3 netinst is problematic - it didn't recognize my /home 
partition as formatted and ended up wiping it out. And when I rebooted 
into the installed system, it left me at a grub prompt. But when I 
rebooted and selected the boot partition manually through the BIOS, I 
was able to boot into the system. I ran update-grub and it's now booting 
properly.


Surprisingly, I was even able to switch to sddm and get into Plasma 5 
(Wayland!), all while using the Nouveau drivers. And wifi just worked!

My guess is that the system was originally spread out on multiple disk drives.
Fstab has links to partitions that are not at the same location.

IIRC the reason why there was still that one primary was that you could
only boot to a primary partition.

BTW, I don't use extended partitions any more, but I reproduce the above
structure because I typically have one smallish [the 500MB HDDs of our

IIRC, DOS types are limited to 4 "primary" partitions (or 2 ?), but 
extended partitions have no such limit, and can contain any number of 
others.


Back in the (DOS/w95) days, you would usually create one primary and one 
extended, and populate the extended with as many partitions as you want.
This way was used to avoid making mistakes : how many primary partitions 
do I have in the "root" table ?


It's from memory, so 30 years old ^^

Nah, this is just the default. Run the partitioner yourself, get
it to happen the way you want it to be.

I just installed bookworm on another SSD disk.
The installer said it was going to partition the disk one for the / and 
another for swap

After the installation the extended partition was there.
Is this some attribute of pre formatted SSDs
I didn't zero the disk as my old systemrescueCD CD failed to 
successfully boot.

I'll get a more recent copy.

Bonjour à tous,
Je n'y connais pas grand chose mais je vois que Jami est basé sur SIP.
Pourquoi ne pas utiliser SIP ?
Dans wikipedia il est écrit :
SIP n'est pas seulement destiné à la VoIP mais aussi à de nombreuses autres 
applications telles que la visiophonie, la messagerie instantanée, la réalité 
virtuelle ou même les jeux vidéo en ligne. 

Bonne réflexion
Cassis

 Bonjour tout le monde,Jami est un logiciel qui 
volue trs vite. Il est donc difficile de dire 
catgoriquement sil est compltement fonctionnel ou pas. 
Cest  surveiller.Personnellement, Jami ne ma 
jamais pos de problme pour lusage que jen fais 
(clavardage, partage de fichiers, visioconfrence 1:1).Ce que 
que je note, cest que les performances de Jami semblent largement 
tributaires du dbit de connexion disponible.Pour le clavardage, le 
partage de fichiers, ou un simple appel audio lADSL suffit ; mais pour une 
visioconfrence avec une qualit vido acceptable, la 
fibre est chaudement recommande.La fonctionnalit du 
point de rendez-vous, qui permet de transformer lordinateur hte en 
serveur de visioconfrence, permet aussi de palier  la faiblesse 
du dbit de connexion des autres participants.La prise en 
main de Jami est similaire  Skype,  la diffrence que la 
cration dun compte ne ncessite absolument aucune 
donne personnelle et peut se faire hors-ligne. Les donnes du 
compte ne sont stockes que localement. Si on veut utiliser un 
mme compte sur un autre appareil, il faut le dupliquer  partir 
dun fichier de sauvegarde.Il faut aussi noter que si on a le 
choix, il vaut mieux utiliser Jami sur un ordinateur de bureau (desktop/laptop) 
que sur un ordiphone (smartphone) ou une tablette. En dpit des 
progrs qui on t faits jusque-l, Jami reste 
gourmand en nergie.Pour en savoir plus :https://jami.net/;

Hi Jörg,

yes, of course, but I guess, it does not content any usefull information, 
because I checked it 
before at the time the issue was active. 

There is no differnce to the actual state.

But anyway, here it is:

 snip 

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE 

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. 

XKBMODEL="acer_laptop" 
XKBLAYOUT="de" 
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" 
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

The entry "acer_laptop" worked always well, but I also tried "pc-105" during 
the time of the 
issue, which also did NOT work.

Best regards
