Re: 8.2.2004 Latest yum update renders machine unbootable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Don't forget that EL 7 (non-UEFI systems) & 8 support booting from LVM snapshot (a.k.a BOOM Boot Manager) , so revert is 2  steps away:
- boot from the snapshot (grub menu)
- revert from the lvm snapshot
- reboot  and wait for the revert to complete
