I have this error
error: /dev/sdc: No medium found

But I don't have it in fstab, I don'have it in syslinux.cfg...

??

We need a lot more information to be able to do anything with this.

When or where does that error show up? Does this come up during the boot process? If so, at what stage? Does it come up when you try to mount other media? Does this prevent booting?

Sorry... it's during the boot process at the beginning before the message about boot drive.
This is the output of journalctl:

In the past days I was trying to make work the SD card reader but the card inside was not recognized, so I had to remove it.

Trilby · 2014-11-26 18:11:56

Ah, it's from systemd-udevd, that should give some good leads. I'm not as familiar with udev stuff as I should be - but what were you doing when you tried to get the SD card reader working? Did you create any udev rules, or did you create/enable a service that is trying to do something with an sd card reader? Does `systemctl list-units` have anything related to systemd-udevd and/or sdc and/or any failed units?

hifi25nl · 2014-11-26 18:16:44

I did copy a udev rule but now is deleted.
No failed unit, but I have this:
