I have a weird problem. I have an HP DL980 that had been running openSUSE 13.2. I upgraded it to openSUSE Leap 42.1 and that seemed to go OK, but when I try to boot the machine, the boot fails and I end up in emergency mode.
In looking around in emergency mode, I notice that /boot and /var do not get mounted. Both partitions are there and I can run fsck on them without problems. If I have an entry in /etc/fstab for /boot, for example, that looks like this:
LABEL=boot /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2
and issue the command in emergency mode "mount /boot", the system comes back with a prompt, but does NOT mount the filesystem.
I would try: "mount -v /boot" which should post an error message if it fails. Then I would look at the end of the journal immediately.
If I change the entry in /etc/fstab to be:
/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 2
