Hello,
I started Boot Repair Tool from the Boot Repair Disk yesterday and it has not finished yet. It is stuck at:
Purge the kernels then reinstall the last kernel mapper/rootvg-rootlv (ins).
Before providing any further details I would like to ask you if there is a log or anything where I can check what it is actually up to.
I have a very slow and unreliable internet connection and therefore I suspect that some download may had failed or is taking too long.
The situation is this:
1.- Lubuntu 14.04 64-bit installed with UEFI disactivated in the BIOS.
2.- I installed Windows 10 in a different partition which forced me to activate UEFI.
3.- I was able to boot into Ubuntu after activating UEFI but not after installing Windows 10.
4.- I donwloaded the 64-bit version of the Boot Repair Disk and booted it from a USB pendrive via UEFI in order to fix the issue.
5.- I chose the recommended repair which started 16 hours ago.
I have three hard drives in this laptop:
1.- Two SSD that are configured with LVM2 to be shared by the volume group rootvg which contains the logical volumes rootlv and homelv.
2.- One HDD that contains the folowing partitions: boot primary partition, EFI partition, LVM2 partition that contains the volume group backupvg with three logical volumes (swaplv, reservoirlv and backuplv) and, finally, the Windows 10 NTFS partition.
I am afraid that, if I interrrupt Boot Repair Tool, I would leave my system in an unusable state. If this tools fails, is there a way I can solve this issue manually or should I go for a clean Ubuntu install?
Yet another altertanive may be editing the Windows boot menu...
Regards,
Miro
