Hello,
after a recent kernel update the usual grub2 boot menu doesn't show up; instead I get the grub prompt
I used the tutorial in
https://www.linux.com/training-tutorials/how-rescue-non-booting-grub-2-linux/
with the commands
to reboot my computer, with XXXX replaced with one of the kernels I found, but it seems to fail because I do not know the device name I should use instead of ??? (I have several hard drives; the system drive is a solid state drive). I tried "/dev/sdc3" and "/dev/nvme0n1p3" but it didn't work. Is there any way to see the actual device names before I boot the machine? E.g. in the BIOS or what-do-I-know?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. To clarify, the boot process starts, but gets stuck in an seemingly infinite waiting loop "A start job is running for dev-???.device"
