Debian: After dist-upgrade no booting possible
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello guys,

I'm in need of your help.
I've a machine with Debian Wheezy and wanted to upgrade to Debian Jessie.

My first step was to modify /etc/apt/sources.list and replaced 'wheezy' by 'jessie'.

Next step was apt-get update and finally apt-get dist-upgrade

Everything went smooth except one error debian complaining about no write permissions on /boot.
My fault - I've remounted /boot with rw permission, executed dist-upgrade once again and switched back to ro permissions for /boot.

Finally I did apt-get autoremove and rebooted the system.

The problem:
Grub2 seems to be loaded - I see the "new" menu and Debian with the new 3.16 kernel (jessie) can be selected.
However the system hangs after "Booting from Hard Disk" - nothing happens (see attachment below).
Moreover I'm not being asked for the encryption password.

What I've tried
Boot with wheezy netintall-iso and entered the "rescue mode".
The rescue system found my encrypted hdd and asked me for the encryption password. After entering the password I got a shell and was able to mount the other partitions from my LVM volume group.

Then:
Code:
grub-install /dev/vda
grub-update
reboot

But still no luck after reboot.


Finally my /etc/fstab before upgrading to jessie:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
/dev/mapper/vg01-lv_root /              ext4    errors=remount-ro 0      1
# /boot was on /dev/vda1 during installation

Can someone help me out please?

Thanks in advance
