Brother's machine started booting into initramfs because both /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 had file system problems. after googling some while finally did fsck.ext4 -fy for both and rebooted the machine with the reboot command and voila! it is alive again. |

And then it started booting into command line as root because something broke in /dev/sda3 again. fsck'd that b*tch again and rebooted. Now it works... (again)

also fsck cannot be run for /dev/sda1 when it is mounted (in use) and pretty much all google results say use a LIVE MEDIUM to boot and fsck the device from there...

i need to learn how to boot into initramfs etc. But since the machine appears to work i'm not gonna bother with it right now.

UPDATE: Brother is getting a new machine as backup.

His filesystem on /dev/sda3 broke again. Managed to guide him through the fixing process on telephone though... It might be the hard drive that is acting up.

UPDATE 2: Okay, the machine is dead... Does not even power on anymore.

For the record: The OS was Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1 and the (Fujitsu) laptop lasted almost a year before it started acting up.

Also brother only ever really used two programs, namely Firefox and VLC media player.
