I accidentally deleted my kernel and have been trying to get my system back into a workable state. I've gotten most of the way there by following instructions from a few different resources (1 and 2).



Unfortunately, I've not yet been able to boot my system from Grub and I'm pretty sure this is because I'm not passing the correct root filesystem path to the linux command. This is all complicated by the fact that my partition is encrypted with Luks. However, the partition is being decrypted and (I believe) mounted, as I can see it in Grub (using ls) at (lvm/debian--vg-root).



So, my question is this: how do I find the appropriate root filesystem path to pass to linux ... root=...? (I've tried lvm/debian--vg-root, but that causes a kernel panic after running boot.)
