I have two Linux distro installed one is on /dev/sda5
and another one (Debian) is on /dev/sda6
.
When when i was booting Debian from /dev/sda6
power went off. When i rebooted and tried to boot into Debian, it won't boot. and giving me some errors.
Later i tried booting in Other Linux, /dev/sda5
the system booted fine but kept giving me this error.
