Re: Debian Testing. Can't boot after apt-get dist-upgrade (28 March 2016)

Thanks for response!

Unfortunately, I have to report that doing

sudo install-grub /dev/sda    #/dev/sda is by device for hard-drive with lvm, may be I need some specific options here?

sudo upgrade-grub

do not cure boot for 4.4.0 kernel - same problem persists, still 4.3.0 kernel (in "Advanced GRUB menu") booting fine.

So I still assume the problem I's not in grub (config for both kernels 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 looks the same)

Can you please spot commands for GRUB that you are using (may be some specific options other them mine), do you use LVM?

I just finished dealing with something similar. Paradoxically, using the
secondary boot menu (Advanced Options or similar) in Grub booted fine. I
ended up doing a install-grub followed by an update-grub once booted and
it seems to have resolved things.

Hope this helps,
