Hello,
  About a year ago I had for the first time a kernel panic error on my Debian 10 machine.  I didn't know how or 
have time to try and recover the OS.  I chose to install a Debian 11 on a new drive.  That one is giving me some trouble as well 
now.
Is there a poor mans way to recover the data or recover the OS?  Just point
me in the right direction.
thanks,
Greg
