Since some days, one of my PCs with openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) boots into emergency mode. The emergency mode message suggests to view "journalctl -xb". The journal contains some interesting messages. The main problem seems to be, that my USB stick which holds /boot on /dev/sdc1 (ext4, /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SGeneral_UDisk_....General_UDisk_5.00-part1) times out during boot since some days. But /boot is correctly mounted and "fsck" shown no error. Any ideas? An excerpt from "journalctl -xb": Dec 18 16:28:33 mybox kernel: PM: Hibernation image not present or could not be loaded.
