Ok. Rewiring to have the secondary disk only I was able to boot of secondary and that worked.
Rewired back to 2 disks, primary as primary in the wiring. In grub booted into recovery mode. Used the dpkg option to get updated and remount as rw. Got into root shell from grub extended manu and did apt-get remove 'nvidia*' The quotes being essential. Should probably have done purge, but..did not. That removed the nvidia and did some kernel stuff. exited shell and (as the on screen note warned) only got back to a root shell. Shutdown. Then rebooted and the system restarts normally! Yay! The question, of course, is when I reinstall nvidia what will happen? But at least the sytem boots and lightdm runs now, normally. And I know how to get back to this state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492617 Title: Kernel Oops during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1492617/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
