Hello,

I'm using Trisquel 8 and I installed the linux-image-4.15.0-99-generic kernel from the Trisquel repositories, but after the reboot I got a BusyBox error. See the attached image.

Some suggestion how to fix that?

Thank you

Can you boot the previous kernels? GRUB should still list it in its "Advanced options for Trisquel" (or something like that).

You can chroot from a live session. Boot from a live CD and open a terminal. Then, assuming your root partition is /dev/sda1

$ sudo su
# TARGET=/media/sda1
# mkdir -p $TARGET
# mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET
# mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev
# mount --bind /dev/pts $TARGET/dev/pts
# mount --bind /proc $TARGET/proc
# mount --bind /sys $TARGET/sys
# cp /etc/resolv.conf $TARGET/etc/
# chroot $TARGET /bin/bash

This places you in a root terminal on the trisquel system. Do whatever you want to do there,e.g., uninstall that kernel.

To exit from chroot:

# control-D

This brings you back to where you were in the live session and you can unmount

# umount -l $TARGET/dev/pts
# umount -l $TARGET/dev
# umount -l $TARGET/proc
# umount -l $TARGET/sys

Hello,

thank you, I managed it. Unfortunately I didn't install all the needed kernel packets, this is why I got this error message.

Now the OS is booting fine, but after the login the system is frozen at 90% of my efforts.

Any advice how to fix this error?

I do not understand what that means. Anyway, reading (with journalctl) the logs right before the freeze may help to diagnose the problem.
