In my /etc/fstab I have a line /home/suse/12.3/iso/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso /home/suse/12.3/d64 iso9660 ro,loop This mounts the installation image using a loop device. When systemd tries to mount this device, the loop kernel module is not yet available. This means that the mount fails and systemd goes into emergency mode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Include a line for a loop mount, to be executed at boot time, in /etc/fstab Actual Results: Mounting of the loop device fails, because the kernel loop module is not yet present. System boots in emergency mode. Expected Results: Mounting the loop device succeeds. System boots in normal mode. I can load the loop module with "modprobe loop" from the emergency shell. After that, the mount of the loop device succeeds and the system boots to normal mode. -- 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.
