I added the commands so it looks like this: echo 'Loading Linux 4.8.4-1-default ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.8.4-1-default root=UUID=b3c20bd7-eba1-4521-a62e-37fd44f86e75 debug ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=vga,keep echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd-4.8.4-1-default And ran update-bootloader --refresh But there does not appear to be any log. If I run: journalctl |grep -i "linux version" I only see 4.7.6 like this: Nov 01 10:42:55 carpet kernel: Linux version 4.7.6-1-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 6.2.1 20160830 [gcc-6-branch revision 239856] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP Fri Sep 30 12:22:14 UTC 2016 (fb37fcc) If I run "journalctl -b -1" I do not see any log for the failed boot, I only see the previous boot of 4.7.6. I have tried booting with a grub2 rescue disk too, but also it reboots. The reboot occurs after the message 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'. I should perhaps try a different kernel, or noinitrd? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
