Re: [DNG] Won't boot after dist-upgrade

Sorry to bring this up. I just wanted to say that, after a dist-upgrade, the latest Linux kernel from Jessie backports (4.9.0) boots just fine. I could never known what was wrong with Linux 4.7. Thanks for your support, Emiliano. On Mon, Dec 19, 2016 at 10:09 PM, Brad Campbell

Re: [DNG] Won't boot after dist-upgrade

I have one suggestion for how to fix the problem. Try using a traditional device node, instead of booting with the root partition set as a UUID. The UUID may have changed over kernel upgrade. Have a look in /etc/fstab to find the right device node for "/" And edit your grub configuration

Yes, make it the default using dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc (remove the 'quiet' line altogether). You might need to change debconf priority to low see that prompt though, e.g dpkg-reconfigure debconf first. Do the keyboard LED's flash when you try to boot? If so the kernel is loading but
