I get the prompt from grub for the password, goes through the motions to restore, but at some point, it powers off instead! I have to press the power button, enter the password a second time, and now it fully restores. I'm not sure it happens every time, but for sure happened twice. Nothing is displayed on the screen, and nothing can be in the logs, system is not "running" while this is going on. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. Have you enabled persistent logging (/var/log/journal/)? Something in the log from the previous boot may say why it it is powering the system off; creating /var/log/journal/ (since it sounds like you haven't already) would let you see it. -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/
