not booting anymore (switching to root) - mindless - 11th Apr, 2015 11:13 PM
Hi,
I successfully installed Xbian on my Pi2 since about a month now and everything was finally running smoothly, but a few days ago, I rebooted to test init scripts and the system could boot anymore.
It stays stuck on Switching to root and sometimes passes one step further (setting up x socket directories ...)
not relevant anymore (Click to View)
I just tried to add rescue_early to the cmdline.txt and i was able to get a shell.
The btrfs partition was mounted already and i was able to do "chroot /rootfs" where I could find all my usual files.
I ran btrfs check on the unmounted partition and it found no error.
I guess all this means that my filesystem is fine but I'm still stuck on swithching root during the boot process.
Can someone help me fix this ?
Thanks,
Regards.
