I tried to boot with the GRUB built within the chroot stage3. I was very

I guess I need to try that again.
If it is not too cryptic it will at least give you a hint as to what is
missing in your system or its configuration.

Some day in the next years I will try it again, now, I'm tired.
I am very thankful that there is someone that really understands how
messy these sort of computer product are. They are a disaster to try
to work with. What I have truely lost is time. Piles of it. I am tired.
This morning, with coffee in hand and a stern glare at that damned
horrific SiFive RISC-V P550 board ... I give up.
It is an appliance. Not ever to be used for anything other than the very
very few things that it can do. slowly. It ships with Ubuntu and perhaps
something called Yocto.

My time in life is far too valuable to waste on this trash. I will
flash in the shipped Ubuntu and curse at it. Hate it. At the very
least it will run something however Ubuntu is a pale shade away from
Microsoft Windows 11 in my mind. Thus I despise it. I will not give
another spilled coffee to this matter.
I thank you and this mail list for the help that almost worked.
