after dist-upgrade, system does not boot.
Hya,
Probably I am hitting one of the problems hanging around in Debian world. System Debian jessie, AMD64, Core2 duo, (Kernal 3.14.12 custom) What happened After dist-upgrade, system did not boot, (as the title reads) and ran into emergency mode. Last system upgrade was 6/Aug/2014 Troubleshooting Bootup message suggests that some trouble with mounting disks. journalctl -xb reads "timed out ... uuid ..." However, disk is alive under emergency mode! It turned out to be the trouble is non-root disk (SSD mounted as ext2), related fstab entry looks like Code:
UUID=1604cd4a-9f01-41a6-bbc5-......... /path/to/mount/point ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1 Code:
Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/.... |
Have you checked blkid to see if entry is correct?
|
Hya
Thanks for your reply. It looks like that blkid is OK. I am not sure if this thread is rlated. An option "auto" discussed. By the way, there is another problem. This jessie is a comute node of a cluster (by slurm). Currently it is off for some reason. The package slurm-llnl also chokes on upgrade. This is where it chokes. Code:

Did you install systemd-sysv
|
Hya
Thanks for your comment. Yes, systemd-sysv is installed. For some reason, sysvinit is installed also, and deborphan says there is no reason for sysvinit to be there. I removed it, but the original problem persists. Another wierd thing, I noticed is Code:
# aptitude show systemd-sysv cheers |
Have you tried updating to see if the updates were complete?
|
Hya,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have done that several times. cheers |
What was the mountpoint for the ssd?
|
Hya,
Thanks for your reply. Apology for delay. It used to be /dev/sdb1. It is also sdb1 according to /etc/blkid.tab. cheers |
Wild shot...
I had this problem (/dev/disk-by-uuid...) this weekend on Debian Unstable. The machine did boot in the old 3.2.0 kernel. I reinstalled the current kernel (linux-image-amd64 I believe) and then the error was gone. On my machine it could have been caused because my son had been messing around with nvidia drivers. jlinkels |

Thanks for your post. I have up-to-date kernel (3.16.3). Also, dist-upgrad is up-to-date. |
My only problem with systemd &mount points was having /usr on separate partition

Hya,
Correction! Its mount point is /home/pathToMount, not /dev/sdb1. Apology! cheers |
