Hello Lite community,
I have a broken machine. Initially it was a dual boot windows-linux-lite (32 bit).
The machine worked well. But the partition for linux was small. With Gparted I erased the old windows partition to have more space and... all hell broke loose.
I am not a complete newbie but my expertise level not sky high. Here is what I got from grub repair…
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2mndMvS8qW/
I should probably add that I do recommended repair from grub.
But after repair I see the lite OS selector -now XP is gone from options as it should - but whatever I choose (latest installed or previous versions of LLite, regular or advance boot ) it won't boot.
When I look at the various OS available options range from
vmlinux 440 generic 140, 141 and 146
If I go with more verbose version of startup I see it reaches swap then:
============================================
[** ]A start job is running 1m 30 seconds
============================================
Then black then
============================================
Welcome to emergency mode! After login type « journalctl -xb » to view logs […]
============================================
And I cannot login.
I try enter, ‘root’, 'linux' or my own ‘admin-pass’ but it won’t work.
As I can see nothing I type, an interface issue cannot be ruled out.
Is it possible it lost the fact this is a 32-bit i386?
Best,
lambda user
