Briefly describe your issue below:
After freshly installing 4.7 on my thinkpad T450, whenever I try to boot the system normally, it drops to initramfs and when I press esc during boot to see the verbose output, I get greeted with a bunch of error messages.
Any ideas? I’m currently installing 4.6 from the iso again and trying to do a parrot-upgrade see if that works.
What version of Parrot are you running? (include version (e.g. 4.6), edition(e.g. Home//KDE/OVA, etc.), and architecture (currently we only support amd64)
Parrot Security 4.7
What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Debian GTK
Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
No
Install it from live mode. Boot into live mode, goto Applications>System Tools> install option. Same steps as GUI installer. While copying data to disk it will throw an error while configuring package manager. Ignore that and proceed to install grub to disk. After installing grub, exit the installer wizard and go back to live mode. Open Gparted, select boot partition and parrot system partition(one by one), right click and perform ‘check’ operation. After that reboot to system.
Just as an update, I’ve managed to install 4.6 and updated it using parrot-upgrade. Should I clean install 4.7 again or should I just stick with a 4.6 to 4.7 upgrade?
I did that a while earlier and it does indeed list /dev/sda1 as the EFI partition, /dev/sda2 as what I assume is the /boot and /dev/sda3 which is /. I also tried fsck as suggested by a few posts online and it kept giving me an error about a superblock. Either way, I installed
Alright, I guess I’ll just dist-upgrade it. I tried clean installing 4.7 from the downloaded iso as well on a VM in my vmware workstation and the same thing happens, could it be an issue with the downloaded iso?
