I'm likely out of my depth here and do not know everything you have tried. If 'init=/bin/bash' did not work for you there might be some significance in it, but I do but understand what it is. Anyway, you can get 'rescue mode' with d-i, so, if it were me I might try apt-get --reinstall install systemd-sysv after an 'apt-get update'. Or even apt-get install sysvinit-core The latter may result in one or two little changes. :) apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-3.14-1-686-pae wouldn't do any harm. dpkg-reconfigure linus-image-3.14-1-686-pae should put the kernel and initrd in harmony. The problem occuring with all your kernels generates a question mark. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
