bootup: too many symlinks.

Postby laidlaws » Nov 22nd, '24, 05:00

My dual-boot Mga9 refuses to boot because there are too many symlinks in the ESP partition. I understand what is happening, but is there a common fix to try first, maybe canonical links?

What do you mean by too many - maybe too many levels of recursive symlinks ?
An ls -alR on that partition would be helpful probably.
