The above links are background information as well as tips provided by experienced moderators/members from this site. I have been attempting to create a system on which I can boot several Linux distros. Up until yesterday I had my system set up to boot LM 19 Cinnamon from a 1 TB HDD and Manjaro 17 Gnome from my 256 GB SSD. With assistance I was able to correct the kernel panic issue caused by trying to boot into Manjaro and I had both OS set up and running. THEN, I had the bright idea that it was time to try and install an additional distro and that was where it all fell apart! So, after completely nuking both drives via GParted I have been able to re-install LM19 Cinnamon to my SSD and as of this moment the system is up and running.
When I reinstalled LM19 on the SSD I allowed the Mint installer to create the partitions just so I could get the system up and running (I tend to mess up partitioning)
So, here I am with a functioning system w/ Mint as a base on the SSD and a totally empty HDD. I will start this project from here.
