Unable too boot after fresh install of latest "testing"
I have been using "testing" for quite some time. Saturday, I upgraded to
the latest version. That was a disaster. Eventually I gave up fixing the
upgrade and performed a fresh install (with encrypted root file system).
No matter what I did (I tried 5 - 6 fresh installs on two disks, and a
few boots into rescue mode to try to execute grub-install or update-grub
manually), I was unable to boot after the upgrade.
After the upgrade, I have a black screen with a little cursor blinking
in the upper, left corner. No messages from grub. No response when I
press keys on the keyboard. No time-out. It just stays there.
I installed Linux Mint (kde edition) without any issues late yesterday
night - so the hardware seems to be OK. However, I'm doing some C++14
programming, and the compilers in Mint are too old for my code. I can't
compile. That's the reason I was using testing on my main machine.
I still have a free SSD disk where I can install and trouble-shoot the
problem. Please advice.
Hardware:
- Lenovo w520 laptop with 2 SSD´s and one HDD
- 24" HP LA240wg monitor on the Display Port connector
- 24" Philips 240BW monitor on the VGA connector
