As Frédéric suggested, I tried to find a separate partition containing xen.efi and conf files but I couldn't find it. The only partitions I found are the virtual partitions of my vms, their backup partitions, and a big main partition with no file in /boot/efi . I think that it's due to the fact that my QubesOS is installed on an external SSD storage. Would anyone have a suggestion on how to recover /boot/efi directory or should I do a clean install ?

Re: [qubes-users] Stuck in kernel panic, cannot rescue my system with anaconda
Thank you so much for the answer and the suggestion, Donoban. I booted on a live version of Fedora and I was able to mount my QubesOs SSD, which is really good. My problem now is that there is no more folders nor files in /boot/efi. I think that I need to regenerate the entire efi directory and I don't know how to do. Could you or someone else explain me how to do that ? Here are files and directories of my /boot : /boot config-4.19.107-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 config-4.19.125-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 config-4.19.128-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 efi grub grub2 initramfs-4.19.107-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img initramfs-4.19.125-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img initramfs-4.19.128-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img symvers-4.19.107-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.gz symvers-4.19.125-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.gz symvers-4.19.128-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64.gz System.map-4.19.107-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 System.map-4.19.125-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 System.map-4.19.128-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.19.107-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.19.125-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.19.128-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 xen-4.8.5-19.fc25.config xen-4.8.5-19.fc25.gz xen-4.8.gz Thank you in advance and have a nice evening everybody ! > > From: donoban > Sent: Tue Jul 21 23:46:29 CEST 2020 > To: > Subject: Re: [qubes-users] Stuck in kernel panic, cannot rescue my system > with anaconda > > > On 2020-07-21 21:26, 'Chempes Amt' via qubes-users wrote: > > Hi everybody, > > > > [I'm sorry if I make some mistakes while writing in English but it isn't my > > mother tongue.

[qubes-users] Stuck in kernel panic, cannot rescue my system with anaconda
Hi everybody, [I'm sorry if I make some mistakes while writing in English but it isn't my mother tongue. I'll try to explain my problem as easy as I can.] My QubesOS is installed on an external SSD storage (I know it's not ideal but . In order to make my computer recognize Qubes, I have to copy manually the xen.cfg and the xen.efi files at every kernel update (as here : https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#boot-device-not-recognized-after-installing ). The problem is that at last update I forgot to change the xen.efi file version and that now I'm stuck with a kernel panic every time I try to boot on my QubesOS. I tried to rescue my OS with anaconda but I'm encountering two problems : - whenever I choose my external storage for booting, there is no grub menu and Qubes boots automatically. So I cannot access any troubleshooting or rescue shell. - I downloaded an iso image of Qubes in order to rescue my system but it seems that anaconda --rescue can't recognize any linux partitions because of this : https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5609 - I tried by downloading an iso of Fedora 32 (server version) but anaconda couldn't recognize my QubesOS partitions. Would anyone have any suggestions which could allow me to rescue my system, please ? Thank you ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
