I did post this question in VMWare communities, but 11 days later there's been no response, so I thought I'd try on a more general *nix forum.
After an upgrade of my VCSA to version 6.5.0.22000-9451637, on reboot it gets stuck on the GRUB screen with the following:
setparams 'Photon'
linux "/"$photon_linux root=$rootpartition net.ifname=0 $photon_cmd
line coredump_filter=0x37 consoleblank=0
if [ "$photon_initrd" ]; then
initrd "/"$photon_initrd
fi
If I then press F10 (to boot), I get the error message:
Booting a command list
error: not a regular file.
Press any key to continue...
The only reference to the issue is here, where the OP mentions how he fixed the issue:
I found broken link from photon.cfg to old linux-4.9.99-1.ph2-esx.cfg
Trouble is, I don't know where to start to look for photon.cfg
. Apart from the fact that it has 12 virtual disks, I don't know enough about GRUB to know how to get out of it, therefore, any pointers would be greatly apreciated.
TIA
