Well, let's wait to see what you have to say after
reading the rest of my
description. I cannot really login via ssh from another machine, if that's
what you mean, because I don't have another machine that I can use at
present. However, I can change my sources.list and upgrade to Excalibur like
that, if it is really necessary to test the theory.
My gut instinct tells me that this is really a graphics issue; such as, a
problem with my graphics card not being up to the new installation image of
Devuan Daedalus. And if this is so, then it is unlikely that it will be
better prepared for the installation image for Excalibur. Am I right?
No images for excalibur yet - I think.
You could try to add this to the kernel parameters inside the grub.cfg - but it might be
that you have to do it blind:
vga=792
Other option (low chance of success): add an external monitor. I'm not sure if your
bios let's you define it as primary, but you could try.
Next option (might be needed anyway): BIOS-upgrade. IMO you need to boot the original SSD,
make a bios upgrade. Last time I checked that only works from M$ for the AMD Ideapad.
Another option (best chance of success): Install chimaera minimal (or whatever you have
runnng right now), upgrade to daedalus (you might skip this), upgrade to excalibur. Be
prepared that you loose X11 in the process, but that does not matter. Remove all packages
that don't have an upgrade candidate:
# apt install apt-show-versions
# apt-show-versions |grep --invert-match uptodate
It might be wise not to reboot while upgrading to excalibur before the excalibur kernel
6.5.xxx is installed.
