Commenting as fellow user of MATE Rolling . . . is this a multi-boot situation? If so did you update your master grub bootloader so that it can find the new install?? Seems like some kind of "grub" problem?
I was just having an issue with Gecko Plasma where it was booting to a TTY and not making it to the GUI. I just changed the display manager to gdm and that "fixed" the issue. Do you have a copy of SuperGrub2 on a disk that you can use to try to boot your install? If it boots from that, then it would show that it is a grub bootloader issue . . . .
Thank you for all these ideas. But I must admit that the fact that the distribution is unusable after installation did not make me want to continue...
I tested AçorOS and SpiralLinux. The existing partitioning is accepted. I plan to continue with SpiralLinux, since the Leap edition risks being abandoned.
Thanks @Neocamelus , sorry I couldn't be of more help. I'm not exactly sure why that would happen specifically on your hardware or partition layout, I can't reproduce the bug with my testing and/or production setup. It's definitely not a common error, but I'm sure there must be some edge case that is triggering it. Would it be OK if I ping you when I generate the next set of GeckoLinux Rolling images so that you can give it a quick spin?
As for SpiralLinux, thanks for giving it a try, please let us know how that works.
Hello @geckolinux,
The bug is strange indeed. It didn't happen with older versions. I would gladly test the next ISOs.
And a big thank you for SpiralLinux which works very well.

Sometimes there is an error during an installation, and then "trying it again" often times will run through properly . . . .
Two things, as mentioned before, it appears like grub isn't finding the kernel . . . so the question is why? Second issue, which may or may not have any bearing, boot partition was formatted as ext2, rather than the more standard fat32????
The bug did not recur with new ISOs. Thanks to you two.
@Neocamelus
cool. sometimes things just "autocorrect" back into normalcy???
Excellent, thanks a lot for confirming!
Hello,
I wanted to install GeckoLinux MATE Rolling edition. Unfortunately, the system cannot boot after installation.
I have the following message.
PS: The following partitioning worked with GeckoLinux Static.
