After Kernel upgrade I can only boot up in rescue mode - Samsung Netbook
by kirikli from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51YCZ)
Hi,
I have a Debian-based xfce distro with kernel 4.9. A new release with kernel 4.19 was suggested so I upgraded to newer kernel but my system doesn't boot up since then.
I upgraded to kernel 5.4 and I somehow succeeded booting up. when I restart it stucks after I see a small pointer and then empty black screen. In rescue mode it boots up normally.
tried "sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service"
here's the output
Code:$ sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
a- systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
