Mostly for forensic purposes. I can/will reinstall when that becomes neccessary, but this has happened several times and I may encounter it again and need to know the fix. This pbp is not my daily driver ,however, and still boots from ssd just fine. I have reviewed the modules that are loaded on a working install vs the borked install and am beginning to think this install may be unrecoverable. trying to load the 80211 module throws an error that lead me to believe the kernel is incomplete (Fatal: blah,blah blah module not found in /lib/kernel/directory/where/the/kernel/is).
Kernel stuff is usually a bit over my head, but I will report back if I figure out a way to rollback/replace the kernel without network available. Thanks for all your help BTW
