kernel 5.11.16-1-pae <- Is now gone. Computer is unable to boot to splash screen with any of the 3 above listed kernels. You can boot any live Linux media that has a kernel older than 5.12 to rescue mode from which you can chroot into your installed system.
Would you be able to give me a couple pointers on "chroot" as I am able to get to the tty1:rescue:-#
From memory:
mount the system to repair "somewhere":
mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
Then do:
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
and then you can work on the broken system. You can run zypper or yast
(in text mode, don't try graphics).
It appears that kernel modules for wireless networking fail to load during the load process into "rescue mode" Wicked network manager does in fact appear though.
Well, that depends on what you are using as rescue system, some are more complete than others. I thought you would be simply using another kernel in the same system.
That's great information above. Many thanks - getting to be sleeptime here.
Ok, just writing so that you can read this later. That is the beauty of a mail list for support :-)
1. This entire drive is an encrypted LUKS container with Btrfs filesystem. Proceed with mounting the same way after resting? (mind is a bit tired/foggy right now). 🐸
Mounting that is a bit tricky. Best would be that the rescue system has some thing to automate the mounting. For example, my preferred rescue system is the "XFCE Leap 15.x rescue image", but it is 64 bit. You could try this one: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Rescue-CD-i6... on a CD or an USB stick. https://en.opensuse.org/Create_installation_USB_stick older instructions https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick There are also instructions for Windows or Macs. If that thing boots, just double click on the partition and it will ask for your password.
2. How can I get online in recovery mode since kernel modules are failing to load? (Wicked does succeed though).
Huh. Use another rescue system. Ugh.
3. How can I run zypper in text mode? How can I run yast in text mode?
zypper always runs in text mode. I mean, it CLI, you can use any graphical text terminal. For yast, just type "yast" in the terminal, not yast2. Or type "yast2 --ncurses". All that paragraph assumes you first do "su -" (don't forget the dash).
4. Perhaps I could put together a how to manual at some point of how to
do this on a 32 bit system: ->
Should be the same as for 64 bit, except that 32 bits is dying and people like me are forgetting its nuances :-)
https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support_database <- Hopefully kernel 5.12 will have success with 32 bit though. AHA if it does succeed there will
be nothing to write about it will just work. :-]
