emergency boot mode, unable to boot in to mx linux, multiple boot with mx linux, win 10 and linux mint.


Hello,
I am using desktop with three drives.
ssd - mx linux
hdd - win 10
hdd - mint

Mx linux became unbootable after I tried to delete and rearrange some partitions while using win 10.
Then I tried to troubleshoot reading some articles and then it messed up win 10. Then I used win 10 ISO and repaired the win 10.

I am able to boot in to win 10 and linux mint, but when I try to boot in to mx linux, it shows emergency mode.


I also have bootable usb made with Ventoy, which contains following tools
1. boot-repair-disk-64bit.iso
2. gparted-live-1.1.0-1-amd64
3. HBCD_PE_x64
4. MX-21.2.1_x64
5. rescatux-0.74
6. systemrescuecd-amd64-6.1.5



I don't want to troubleshoot by my own as I am noobi and I don't understand linux as expert does.
Can some one help? please let me know what kind of logs I need share

I like your attitude. You are prepared to provide information and that is the first step to getting a solution.

The first thing I would do in this kind of situation is to boot into Mint, open a terminal, and run sudo fsck on your mx root partition. If you can't remember exactly where that is, use sudo fdisk -L to list the partitions on the ssd. It won't tell you explicitly what the partitions are for but their sizes should give you a clue. Or you can find out the long way by using sudo mount to mount each partition in turn on /mnt and see what's on it.

The important point here is that examining the problematic ssd drive with fdisk, or its partitions with mount, won't cause any further changes to the contents, which you don't want in this kind of situation. Running fsck on the root partition once you have found it won't do any harm and might do some good. It depends on whether this is a simple disk corruption or you have actually destroyed some essential files.

When you say "emergency mode" what precisely do you mean? What is the last thing the boot process tells you before it goes on strike?

Are all three installa UEFI? If so, do you not see an option to select MX in the BIOS firmware boot options? Are you booting Mint and windows from grub on Mint and if so, have you run sudo update-grub from Mint?

Boot the boot-repair iso and run the report. Post the link it generates; you probably need a few more posts here on LQ to post the report itself.

Thanks for guidance. The problem is solved.
There were some entries for deleted partition in fstab file and hence it was getting stuck at the boot showing emergency mode.
