A rescue usb stick? Like, boot off the usb stick? I have one! It looks like my mobo works fine, gonna boot off the stick, but not sure what next steps to look up.
“how to check for drivers for initrd kernel”? I’m really not sure
The bootloader? Like the kernel for my os would be backed up to the motherboard? I’m sorry if I’m not understanding.















Thank you, this was way more educational than I hoped for. I think I have enough info to futs around and get to the bootloader. If no dice, I’ll do a fresh install like you recommended ;^^ Yo, thank you again for your time to help
