Sorry I cannot recall exactly but something about some /dev/sda2/...
file when execute shell on mounted /dev/sda2. With installer
environment there was no grub-install just grub-installer. Because I
do not know what is the difference I had not enough courage to
execute.
The good new I was able to recover my system with supergrub disk. I
was able to boot into my original system with supergrub then
update-grub. For sure I run grub-install -f /dev/sda2 and now I am
using my good old Debian system. What was strange I got a lot of
errors about fake start-stop-daemon and needed to rename
start-stop-daemon.REAL to start-stop-daemon for a successful boot. No
idea at all what, when, and why created that fake start-stop-daemon
script. Hope no more surprise in my system.
Bye,
