2. 2. Booting Safe Setup

   To configure a Boot Safe System
   Check if you dispose of a Fallback Kernel to startup:

   ls | grep initrd

   If more than one output on entry then you can go to the next Step!
   If not then duplicate an existing Initrd and Kernel Image like:

   sudo cp vmlinux[VERSIONID] vmlinux-fallback

   sudo cp initrd[VERSIONID] initrd-fallback

   Just replace [VERSIONID] with a current identifier.
   And last, rigenerate the GRUB configuration with:

   sudo update grub

   With this in case you’ll be sure to boot your System choosing this Kernel on GRUB Splash advanced options.
