[SOLVED] Lockup on boot

MightyPork · 2015-08-23 21:22:19

I am not sure what happened, I probably did some updating as usual, and now it fails to boot.

Here's a photo of the screen: http://i.imgur.com/uxOAPHC.jpg

I get a few lines about "start job is running":

- Creating volatile files and directories
- net-devices something (I guess setting up my ethernet card)

Then I get NMI watchdog warning, some starved threads stuff and basically it's all locked up and useless.

First thing I noticed after the updates was that network stopped working (ethernet "NO-CARRIER"), so I thought a restart might fix it. Well, nope.

Any ideas appreciated. Should I try install linux-lts using chroot from live session? (Never did that before)

What? You probably updated? But you don't know?

Step one, check what you actually updated.

Do you have any network drives? I can't fully interpret that output, but it looks like system drives are being looked for over the ethernet link which is failing.

Also this isn't a kernel issue - all of this is init/systemd output.

Well I thought I updated, but now I think I didn't - booted into my rescue Arch stick, entered arch-chroot and pacman -Syyu shows tons of updates - so I probably did not. Will try that now...

No network drives, no (is that a thing? Anyway, all my disks are local, connected with SATA).

Sorry about wrong category... I don't really understand the output so I thought it's some kernel problem. I've had trouble with ethernet driver before.

After updating from live stick & rebuilding initcpio (not sure if needed), it booted! I hope it's not just a random thing... Net works too. weird.

Will post an update if it continues working or breaks again next reboot.

Seems to be fixed even after restart, closing as solved
