Dear list, I am rather despaired as I cannot boot into my debian system again.
What happened? On my first harddrive I have debian/testing with /usr and /var encrypted. Then I installed kali-linux on my second harddrive into one partition. During this installation my kali-installation overwrote my existing grub2 configurations of the first harddrive and this let me no more boot into the debian system. I checked and I found out, after the decrypt of /usr the system hangs at the message /scripts/local-premount. IMO the kernel or whatever does not find the correct partitions, so that they can be opened and mounted. If I start kali-linux, it is starting, but neither grub-install nor update- grub let detect the debian system. However, the debian installation is seen, but it will not boot due to the wrong paths. I am now working for hours on it, but find no way to get rid of the wrong entries. From the kali system I could edit the debian partitions, if needed. The debian partitions were not changed, except maybe thos with grub2 involved. I would be happy if someone could help me. Of course I tried rescue mode with the debian installation disks, unfortunately it is not possible to open the encrypted partitions due to missing necessary options or files in the rescue system. Thank you very much for any help, I am rather despaired what I can still do. Best regards Hans
