Hi Sophie,
We are asking you questions because we can't see you, we can't see
what you type, we need clear information.
It's like playing chess by post: every time we ask for details
on what you have - what has happened, how the pieces are laid
out - we get an "I have a chess problem" message.
In your reply, please try and answer each of the questions
written below *under* the question so it is clear. If you only have
a phone to reply, that's OK, but please reply to one question
at a time in that case.
Please try and keep to the subject of the message. I have changed
that to "Problem booting the machine" I expect your reply to be
something like AW: Problem booting the machine
First - and most important question - is this your only computer?
If so, I would not want to break it further but in order to fix it,
we will need more information.
Second question - is this the computer that you mail us from to this list
or are you using some other device to mail us?
Your reply above has given more information: this happened after
you upgraded from Debian 10 to Debian 11.
Third question - Even if it's now more than two years ago: can you
remember whether the upgrade completed successfully?
Fourth question -Is it that when the computer starts - and you get a
(blue or green??) first screen with white writing, it lists
several kernels to choose from?
Fifth question - If you have only one kernel listed, then under that may be
a "rescue" option - is that what you use to boot the machine every
day?
If so, then *what do you type* to get into the system: what commands?
Sixth question - One line may list the Debian 11 kernel version -
with 5.10 - or may list the Debian 10 kernel version - with 4.19
Which do you select / which one works?
Thank you in advance for your replies
Andy
