Have you tried booting off a live distribution and inserted the old kernel and symlinked the libraries so you can rerun grub update? I remember we had to do that with lilo whenever I tried new kernels and forgot all about lilo. Cannot even remember the last time I did it, since I found the rescue option in the installation disk. That option wasn't there back in the daysOn Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 7:21 PM, Børge Holen <holen.borge@gmail.com> wrote:I have to use the nomodeset from time to time where the f*** gfx card has unresolved issues with itself.

If the device has worked with other kernel versions before, you
could boot from an USB drive, do a chroot and install a kernel that
works, this should be a pretty straightforward procedure.
