Comments/Problems:
On my machine there are two hard drives on one (sda) there was 'stretch' on
the other (sdb) there was 'jessie'. The wifi connection is made with a USB
key which requires firmware-realtek.
After an upgrade on sda the wifi connection no longer worked but on sdb with
jessie the wifi connection worked.
After looking on the internet I concluded that the problem was with the
kernel used on sda and that a newer kernel should be upgraded.
So I went from stretch to buster without problems but the wifi still didn't
work. So I went from buster to bullseye but starting the machine (on sda) I
got:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FAILED failed to start file system check on /dev/disk/by-uuid
DEPEND dependency failed for /home
DEPEND dependency failed for local file system
DEPEND dependency failed for mark the need to relabel after reboot
to continue "Ctrl D" or give the root password
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I gave the root password and miracle the wifi work.
/home is mounted, normally, on /dev/sda8 but since it is not mounted I did:
fsck /dev/sda8
but it can not repair the ext4 filesystem and I shutdown -h now.
The kernel 4.19 of "buster" had remained on sda and I started the machine on
this kernel and there the boot took place until the end but the wifi did not
work, so I created a CD bullseye and I installed bullseye completely with the CD.
When choosing the partitioning I chose to create the partitions:
/home
/var
/tmp
The installation seems to be going normally and is completed.
So I start the machine again and the same thing starts over:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FAILED failed to start file system check on /dev/disk/by-uuid
DEPEND dependency failed for /home
DEPEND dependency failed for local file system
DEPEND dependency failed for mark the need to relabel after reboot
to continue "Ctrl D" or give the root password
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So I think if I choose to create only one partition the problem with /home
will go away. So I reinstall bullseye with only one partition and this time
the bullseye startup goes to completion with another error on swap.
