Description Hans Micheelsen 2020-04-25 10:15:32 CEST

Description of problem:
After update to kernel-5.6.7-2.mga8 my boot stopped with grub >  prompt
I found out that the kernl and inird are not loaded. After
   linux /boot/vmlinuz
   initrd /boot/inird.img
   boot
my system boot with no further problem. Update to kernel-5.6.7-2.mga8 did not solve the problem. Neither did update-grub2

I has to be noted that I also did a urpme --auto-orphans

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-5.6.7-2.mga8
grub2-2.04.0-11.mga8

How reproducible:
At every boot

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to kernel-5.6.7-2.mga8 (I haven't tried to reproduce by reinstallation of Mageia)
2. System will halt instantly with grub >   prompt

PS: How do I get my system to work corrctly again?

I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but now after kernel 5.6.7-2 and 5.6.7-3, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg no longer contains the mageia kernels menus/menu items. Editing it manually based on an old version of grub.cfg allows it to boot.

It's grub2 BLS support that breaks our grub.cfg

Should be fixed with grub2-2.04.0-13.mga8

you might have to run update-grub2 manually to rebuild grub.cfg
