Haven't encountered this on previous installations, nor prior to a few weeks ago on this box.
On a reboot, where it wold normally prompt for login,
login: <typing anything here is not echoed back to the screen> Give Root Password for Maintenance (or press Control-D to continue)
At this point, you can only login as root. You must login as root and solve the issue why the system is in emergency mode. Probably there was some message before that.
journalctl _does_ show:

Not sure if that is pertainent.
Not necesarily - unless those bad sectors contain files needed for the start. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
