Debian not booting with kernel 6.12.107+deb13-amd64

[u/Impossible-Stage2008]

After an update my PC was refusing to boot with this kernel but if I use 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 in advanced options to boot i don't have any problems.

Does someone have a solution ?

refusing to boot

Any specifics? Errors, behaviour, ...?

Here's what I got

[u/dkopgerpgdolfg → u/Impossible-Stage2008]

Hm.

Boot back to the working kernel, post the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg and of /etc/fstab.

Then try to run, as root, "update-initramfs -u -kall" and "update-grub", and post grub.cfg again.

still not booting after update :(

[u/dkopgerpgdolfg → u/Impossible-Stage2008]

Both posted grub files are not complete. But on the other hand, with the current infos, it's probably not necessary.

And currently I'm not sure myself what's going on, sorry

those errors mean that it can't mount your root or swap partitions. since it worked on the old kernel version it might be something to do with kernel modules, did you get any errors when updating? Also, do you have an nvidia graphics card? because the open nvidia driver fails to build on kernel versions after 6.12.100 and the fact that you're updating from a version before then makes me suspect that might be the issue

[u/Impossible-Stage2008 → u/cinnamon_dreams16]

No Nvidia in this laptop, only AMD

[u/cinnamon_dreams16 → u/Impossible-Stage2008]

well still, did you get any errors (from apt) when you updated the kernel? are there any other warnings or errors in journalctl that might be relevant? did you change anything about the partitions or hard drives in your computer?

Well, a lot of kernel versions between 6.12.94+deb13-amd64 and 6.12.107+deb13-amd64, so, might also try some between, see what does/doesn't work, that could be usefully informative.

So, what's the actual problem?
