Hi, Could use some help.... I know don't reboot a running system.... but kidding aside, yesterday I did reboot TW system Lenovo X1 Carbon, all Intel HW, and well that was it. When the system attempts to boot I end up with Ignoring BGRT: Invalid version 0 (expected 1) on the screen after the initial messages about initrd and kernel loading, (boo#966255). The symptom is that the message shows up, then the screen goes blank and then the message is redisplayed. Thus I think this is the point where I would under regular circumstances enter the passphrase for my encrypted partition. What I have done so far: Booted into a rescue system and mounted the partition on the disk that is root as well as the FAT partition that is /boot/efi. At first this complained about fs corruption, thus I repaired things with dosfsck -a then set hings up such that I could chroot to the harddrive and then re-installed the bootloader using "yast bootloader" this should have taken care of anything related to issues with /boot/efi. For completeness and to avoid misunderstanding tty1: Rescue:~ # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt tty1: Rescue:~ # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi tty1: Rescue:~ # mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc ....... tty1: Rescue:~ # chroot /mnt Rescue:~ # yast bootloader No errors were displayed during the process. This was to no avail, you guessed it or I would not be writing this message. My next step (also yesterday) was to set up networking and update whatever packages TW might have to offer, i.e. get networking running in the rescue system, setup the chroot zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change This removed libply-boot-client2, libply-splash-core2,libply-splash-graphic2, and libply2 and thus I thought maybe that would do the trick, but it didn't. Today there is a new snapshot available and I pulled it. Brought along new grub2 packages. Unfortunately that didn't address the issue either. So, how do I recover? My gut feel is that it has something to do with the early graphical environment, and it would be worth a shot a turning all the fancy stuff off. How do I do that?
