Unable to boot after latest update

After the recent update, system is failing to boot and gets stuck at the following message:

system-fsck: info: /dev/sda13: clean, 462221/2876784 files,
mount-fstab: info: starts...

Even when i tried to go into single mode I am getting the same message and not proceeding further.

Can anyone advise what might be going wrong and the solution to fix this?

Thanks.

Following are the fstab entries:

UUID=fa4e74f2-8aab-4307-b0df-8f06152b1959 /              ext4    defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5       none    swap    defaults        0       0

This file has not been updated since Aug 25.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 473 Aug 25 19:41
 
I boot into this partition mainly and have been restarting every day and never faced this issue before. Only after applying the latest updates yesterday i started facing this issue.

Simple like that.  :)

Try to boot the system up using a live iso and check that partition with fsck. If everything is good, I would try to downgrade suite66-script to the previous version to see if it helps. Of coz, check log files following suggestions from @strajder

I see there is another thread on the same issue though with a different error message (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3065.0.html), possibly something to do with the s66 startup scripts. Any idea how i can downgrade the suite66 scripts?

Thanks.

In /etc/66/init.conf (I think or similar) change verbosity from 0 to 6 and see if you can screenshot or something of the output. Could be something other than fstab

If the error message is different, there's no reason to believe the issue is the same.

mount-fstab is a part of suite66-scripts, and here's what the current version does (https://gitea.artixlinux.org/artix/66-scripts/src/branch/master/module/boot@/service/mount/mount-fstab):
Code: [Select]
[main]
@type = oneshot
@version = @vers@
@description = "Mount partition from /etc/fstab file"
@user = ( root )
@depends =( system-fsck )
@options = ( !log )

[start]
@execute =
(
    if { 66-yeller -cdp mount-fstab -1 /dev/console starts... }
    if -nt {

        mount -a -O noauto,no_netdev

    }
    66-yeller -Fcdp mount-fstab -1 /dev/console failed!
)

Essentially,
Code: [Select]
mount -a -O noauto,no_netdev
which just mounts all the file systems from /etc/fstab, except those that have the auto or _netdev option.

I'd try to enter that command from a live ISO chroot and see if it errors out.

What i mean was the other thread also talked about system not booting and so did mine. I will try out your suggestions and see how it goes.

Thanks.

I tried the different mount options in live iso and they all executed fine, there were no errors.

I downgraded the suite66-scripts and now I'm able to boot into the system (this post is written from the system that didn't boot earlier). Have set the suite66-scripts to be ignored until it is fixed. The issue is with 1.7.1.6-1.

warning: suite66-scripts: ignoring package upgrade (1.7.1.4-2 => 1.7.1.6-1)

Hmm, mount-fstab seems the same in 1.7.1.4:
https://gitea.artixlinux.org/artix/66-scripts/src/branch/1.7.1.4/module/boot@/service/mount/mount-fstab

Well, the debugging should continue towards bisecting this further between 1.7.1.4 and master. It would be beneficial if you provided /var/log/everything.log (use https://paste.artixlinux.org), /etc/66/init.conf and the contents of
Code: [Select]
$ su
# 66-env -t boot boot@system
also as ndowens suggested maybe trying to set VERBOSITY=6 in /etc/66/init.conf (a good idea in general when debugging issues in 66) with the latest version and providing the output during boot.

Re: Unable to boot after latest update

Can you please test with the latest suite66-scripts and VERBOSITY=6? If you do that, please clean the everything.log with
Code: [Select]
$ su
# cat /dev/null > /var/log/everything.log
before reboot, so that only the output from the last boot is captured.

Thanks in advance.
