Hello Rob,
You seem to already have lost the kernel there which is not part of 168.
Can you extract any log files from /var/log/pakfire?

I was upgrading 165-168 so I think Linux 5.15.23-ipfire was from 165. I am trying to build a bootable USB drive so I can mount the ssd and look at the Pakfire logs.

I have been unable to boot from a usb drive so I re-fitted an old mSATA SSD with an earlier version of IPFIRE and was surprisingly unable to boot from there also.
On investigation the bios is reporting:
SeaBIOS (version rel-1.14.0.1-0-g8610266a)
yet I manually upgraded it to v4.16.0.2 a few weeks ago after a discussion with Bernard.
https://community.ipfire.org/t/entropy-with-new-apu-firmware/7707
Could something have downgraded or corrupted the BIOS?
No, we never touch this as it is too unpredictable what would happen.
I'll try to re-flash back to v4.16.0.2 if I can and try to boot again.
But that is not the same version number that you are comparing there.
SeaBIOS is a part of the firmware and comes in a different version.
Yes sorry the BIOS version was a red-herring. When I eventually could boot from USB I could see that the correct BIOS version was displayed on the boot screen.
My problem seems to be that grub hasn't been correctly updated to load the current kernel.
On checking the pakfire log files it would seem that grub wasn't updated after kernel 5.15.35 was introduced in core 167.
I suspect this was caused by a failure in 'dracut' :
tail update-core-upgrade-167.log
dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver=5.15.35-ipfire --force dracut: *** Including module: modsign *** dracut: *** Including module: i18n *** dracut: *** Including module: dm *** dracut: Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules dracut: Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-dm.rules dracut: Skipping udev rule: 55-dm.rules dracut: *** Including module: kernel-modules ***
I presume this should have updated grub but dracut is new to me so I'm not sure what to expect here!
