"sgx: There are zero EPC sections" When trying to install Debian with existing /home in encrypted lvm in vm.
(sopuli.xyz)
I want to install Debian over an existing Debian install with an existing home partition in an encrypted lvm (to upgrade to testing), and I have been practising in a vm.
After trying to follow the advice on https://www.blakehartshorn.com/installing-debian-on-existing-encrypted-lvm/, I successfully reached the end of the installation, but when I try to boot into my system, I get the error(s) shown in the attached screenshot.
Any idea what I did wrong/need to do?
Edit: "sgx: There are zero EPC sections" is something that displayes when booting successfully into a machine that works too.
Check your fstab as its probably trying to mount something that doesn't exist.
Why are you reinstalling to upgrade to testing? Can't you just update sources.list?
I'm not sure how I can check fstab. It's not letting me mount the root partition from the installer environment.
I just tried doing the install without the encrypted partition and only a root user to check that would still boot after using expert mode to do the install. I'll do the install as I did before and try to compare fstab to the available partitions.
I'm sure I already tried updating the sources.list, but I'd already installed a desktop and there were errors when I tried to apt update and apt upgrade/dist-upgrade.
Its going to be way easier to upgrade via apt. Can you share what errors you were seeing?
I tried a dist-upgrade in a virtual machine with xfce then left it for a bit. When I got back, black screen with a terminal cursor in the top right. I left it for a bit more, then tried to get a tty terminal using the keyboard shortcuts that Boxes provides, but it would only show the login for a split second before returning to the blank screen with just a cursor.
I decided to try to soft restart with the button in boxes. It seemed to shutdown successfully, but when it tried to boot back up it gave a kernel panic instead.
