I upgraded 29-> 30. Now I can't even get to the boot screen. I've made a live usb stick, but the stick only wants to install a completely new system. Is there any way to use the stick to troubleshoot the existing installation.
The live system should recognize the installed system. I think it will be mounted under /mnt/sysimage already, but if not you can just mount it. That will allow you to look at things from the live system, and even edit them. Look at /boot/efi to see if it is there, and updated to F30.
If I had to guess the upgrade screwed up the the UEFI boot. I can boot to bios, but not to the boot loader.
It would be puzzling if that was true. The upgrade to F30 should have just upgraded what you already had. Are you sure the upgrade was successful? If you boot into the upgraded system as MBR, can you run a dnf update? Is it running an F30 kernel? _______________________________________________
Thanks for the response.
Nothing is mounted under /mnt/sysimage. What should I mount there ? The installed "/" partition ?
Not sure what you mean by "boot into upgraded system as MBR". I can see the F30 kernel in the installed /boot partition.
