Ok. So, the line "Cannot dump. Device not defined or unavailable." is
already going to be an output of the kernel crash. Meaning, during
bootup, somehow the kernel crash and since crash dumps was not
defined, that is why I was getting that message I just mentioned.

Moving forward, what are your recommendations in order for me to be
able to boot from my system?

Regards,

GNUbie
