So, I did: grub-mkdevicemap grub-install /dev/sda (obviously sda is my disk, duh!) update-grub and here I'd an error while automagically grub was rebuilding initrd Then I deleted from the root the old link to vmlinuz, did again update-grub, then boot directory was successfully populated, the root link to vmlinuz too and a reboot gave me back the system like nothing was happened... -- Registered Linux User #249354 "Ad astra per aspera"
