[SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
After "Welcome to Arch Linux!" the system is unresponsive whereas I expected
to get a login prompt on a virtual console. This is an existing install,
on fairly recent hardware, set up as a fileserver (with NFS) that has
previously been well behaved. Kernel 3.18.6.
LUKS btrfs / is on a USB stick
ext2 /boot is on the USB stick
LUKS btrfs /home is on a hard drive
The tale of woe: while manipulating something unrelated to the core system via
ansible from another host, I lost the ssh connection and had to hard reboot.
I may have changed something else that was important and forgotten about it
and boot now stops at "Welcome to Arch Linux!" with no ttys accessible. The last
journalctl entry is:
systemd-logind[406]: Failed to abandon session scope: Connection timed outUsing the Live CD on a USB stick I began fiddling with things incrementally,
ending up using systemd in initrd for early boot process, and updating fully with
pacman -Syu but still it stops at the same place.
HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf:
HOOKS="systemd block sd-encrypt autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard sd-vconsole"Using this grub kernel command line:
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=33d5ff7b-bla-blahbb8e13f898rw rootflags=subvol=rootvol
rd.luks.uuid=9181c004-blah-blah-e834f53da539 verboseI put screenshots here http://imgur.com/a/55HHF The first 4 show booting with
the above kernel command line, the remaining photos show when "debug" is
appended.
There are at least two suspicious things:
1)
[ 36.661066] systemd-journald[65]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd)
[ 36.662115] systemd-journald[65]: systemd-journald stopped as pid 65 but later it says:
[ 37.568286 ] systemd-journald.service changed dead -> activehowever nothing has been written when I chroot using arch-chroot and do journalctl.
2)
[37.465557] systemd[1]: Failed to load configuration for
systemd-cryptesetup@luks\x2d918..blah,blah..da539.service: No such file or directory That is the root crypto_LUKS partition. But then a few lines later there is
this:
[37.540503] systemd[1]: sysroot.mount changed dead -> mounted Cryptsetup asks for the password and appears to accept it so I think root is
being mounted alright.
The default.target is set to multi-user.target but here it gets a bit
confusing for me, I think it is either stuck trying to provide a service or I
haven't enabled a service. Any advice please?

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
Downgrade to the previous kernel version (or install and use the LTS kernel instead).

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
I've tried these kernels but get the same results, the 3.16's worked in the past and 3.18.2 probably did, I upgraded to 3.18.6 to try to fix the current problem:
3.18.6-1 <--- the one from post 1
3.18.2-2
3.16.4-1
3.16.3-1

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
Can anyone point me to the source code that causes the "Welcome to Arch Linux!" message? What else can I try?

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
Not sure how far it'll get you, but it comes from systemd

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
linux-lts had the same result.
Thanks for the systemd link, that helped with my googling.
I have discovered that I can get a rescue shell. Using this kernel command line:
systemd.unit=rescue.target systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg log_buf_len=1M It prompts for the luks password, boots, promtps for root password, I enter
the root password, the full output of dmesg is here http://sprunge.us/IfcX
To make sure there are no jobs hanging, so far:
# systemctl list-jobs
No jobs running.systemctl --all

235 unit files listed. If I then do
# systemctl isolate multi-user.target
I get something like Failed to start multi-user.target: Connection timed out
similarly, if I boot the rescue.target, as above, then press Ctl-D to continue:
Failed to start default.target: Connection timed outAny ideas on what I can try now?

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
I've asked on stackoverflow here. I am wondering if this problem would attract more help in the Newbie Forum? Otherwise the only thing left is to do is re-install

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
My guess is the Connection is refering to DBus, I'd also have a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_d … d_problems and have a look at some of the debug options

Re: [SOLVED] boot stuck at "Welcome to Arch Linux!"
I had more than on issue. A service I had set to start at boot time but didn't work, and also a misconfiguration in users and groups to do with logging, hence no logs picking up the first issue.
After doing this:
ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants > multi-user.target.wants.BAK
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wantsit boots!
After an update, I had failed to merge properly at least one .pacnew file leading to errors in at least one of these files:
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
The misconfiguration was detected by running these tools:
# pwck
# grpckand then I deleted the lines it complained about (anything to do with systemd-journal-remote and systemd-journal-upload), and regenerated the entries in those files by running
# systemd-sysusersFixed! Pheew, that was close, I was oggling other distros and wondering what they would be like to shack up with.
Thanks for the replies Spider.007 and Head_on_a_Stick.
