[SOLVED] Timed out while waiting for device on boot

PurpleAce · 2023-11-06 22:06:04

I have just installed Arch, and have yet to install a desktop environment.
On booting up, it says:

[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/c611ed6c-6c12-4ea5-832b-ec17a3cc20d9.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for File System Check on /dev/disk/by-uuid/c611ed6c-6c12-4ea5-832b-ec17a3cc20d9.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /boot/efi.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.

It then puts me into emergency mode, which gives me the option of Control-D to continue, or to input my root password to fix things myself. On pressing Control-D, it pauses for about 30 seconds before putting me back into the emergency console. If I input exit it does the same thing. I've seen a similar issue a few times on the forums, but each time it was at least temporarily solved by doing one of those. I've done my best to look around the arch wiki and try to find the solution myself, but it doesn't seem to be out there.

Thank you, I hope I'm not asking a question with an obvious solution.

From the install iso, post the output of

lsblk -f

and /mnt/etc/fstab

lsblk -f:

NAME             FSTYPE FSVER                LABEL               UUID

    nvme0n1p2 ext4         1.0                                                   22c3e2fc-e515-4082-ac59-b1c01217710b

Upon requesting /mnt/etc/fstab it said that there was no such directory so I may have configured fstab incorrectly?

Please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

The implication was to, like during the installation, mount nvme0n1p2 there
There's obviously no disk w/ the UUID c611ed6c-6c12-4ea5-832b-ec17a3cc20d9, so if you have such entry in your fstab, that's gonna be a problem.

PurpleAce · 2023-11-07 13:20:08

I'll see if I can fix that. Thank you for the help, I apologize if I may have wasted your time.

You didn't waste anything, but if you struggle w/ your fstab, we'll still need to see that.

PurpleAce · 2023-11-07 20:24:15

I got it working properly. It turned out that the fstab had the wrong UUID somehow, so I changed it to the correct one and had no issues after that. Thank you for the help.

How do I mark the topic as solved?

seth · 2023-11-07 20:36:59

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
