sorry for the late response. Yes, that did the trick: after a mount timeout, the emergency shell (ES) is started, the root pw was requested, and I was able to enter it.
OK, so it is the same problem as in bnc#852021, so I mark is as duplicate.
What's a little disturbing is: exiting with Ctrl-D usually resulted in a reboot. The new default seems to try to boot into default mode.
That's comes from upstream.
I edited the fstab in the emergency session (commented out the defect entry), hit Ctrl-D, system tried continue booting and - systemd has thrown me into the ES _again_. Another login -> Ctrl-D -> booting... -> ES. Looks like it keeps some state of ES, which leads to this, hence reboot is the only meaningful way out.. Therefor, the default behavior of continue booting is suboptimal at best.
Yes. After changing /etc/fstab you need to call "systemctl daemon-reload" to re-read it and forget old "bad" entry. Feel free to open new bug report re. suboptimal behavior, but let's not pile everything in one bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 852021 *** http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852021 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
