Yesterday (29.04.2020) I installed an update that required a system restart. Then, with default start path, it booted to BusyBox (initramfs) console:


I found some possible fixes, unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't work on any USB port while in this mode, so the only thing I can do is to reboot.

Then, I managed to run OS successfully by going into Advanced options on grub dual boot screen, and choosing "neon GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.3.0-46-generic".
What causes failure is choosing "neon GNU/Linux, with Linux 5.3.0-51-generic", which I assume is what default start does.


Do I understand correctly that 5.3.0-51-generic is Linux kernel version?

Loogs likes a problem with LVM in the kernel. Have you searched for bugs with this on Ubuntu? Have you reinstalled the kernel? And all other kernels are working fine right?

I searched for this on Ubuntu forums. I am afraid I may not have a sufficient understanding of related terms to search for this issue successfully.

I did not reinstall the kernel, I have no idea how to do it. I may try if you think this may help, but this sounds like some serious work.

5.3.0-51-generic doesn't work at all
5.3.0-46-generic works fine
5.3.0-45-generic boot to OS, but detects only one monitor with one, low resolution

Then it is easy. Use "5.3.0-46-generic" to the next Update.

It worked, now I can boot normally using the default option, which uses 5.3.0-51-generic.
Thank you.
