#161938 — Updating Debian Jessie

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Updated Debian Jessie 8.0 using :-

apt-get -u update

apt-get -u upgrade

apt-get -u dist-upgrade

but now find that the PC won't reboot.

Am getting messages such as

'couldn't start the load kernel modules' and

'couldn't start /boot/efi'

Can anyone help, please ?

You don't need to do both an upgrade and dist-upgrade. Doing the upgrade 
installs new versions of existing packages while dist-upgrade also will 
replace packages when a package has been replaced by a different one 
(e.g. grub2 replaces grub or systemd replaces sysvinit). When dealing 
with the stable branch the two commands should be identical.

It's unlikely that the successful completion of those commands caused 
the problems you are experiencing. What else did you you change?
