Installation Question

Hello,

  • OpenMandriva Lx version: Rome

  • Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): Kde Plasma

H

  • Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant): Hi all. My attempts to install and use OpenMandriva Rome rolling are not going well. After installation, when attempting to upgrade the system, the boot configuration is broken, and I cannot get in at all. The initial boot seems to be ok. But upgrading all packages is my downfall.
    I can boot the installation media. I have tried to recover the boot using chroot, but this is not going well. I keep getting an error /bin/bash command not found. And it is very time consuming - just for me to get to first base - a useable Rome system.
    Can you point me to a Rome download that has upgraded packages that may help with this impasse? Currently hundreds of packages are being upgraded post install. Maybe a newer ISO will help.

ROME ISO # 2818 installed in VBox. I am confident it would work on hardware just fine. And that should get you past that boot issue.

Hi. Update on my earlier post. OpenMandriva Rome is up an running. I struggled with using Chroot and then Grub2 command line to try and resolve this. I ended up reinstalling. I am not sure what changed but OpenMandriva is installed and booting correctly.
Once installed I used the command
sudo dnf clean all ; sudo dnf --allowerasing distro-sync to update the system.
