Fedora 20 system wont boot - emergency

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sending this via squirrel mail from another computer.  My mine notebook
won't boot.

I came out of suspend this evening, and gnome was confused.  So I first
did a yum update, thus getting everything through last night including a
new kernel.

I rebooted and the system gets a good ways through the boot process then
turns off.  The last two messages that I can barely read mention something
about SCSI sync then drive off.  Then it shuts off.  I can't read the
screen fast enough.

I tried booting from the prior kernel and same behavior.  I have
everything on this drive and my backup is a couple weeks old (shame,
shame.  I was going to do one tomorrow).

So two things:

How do I get the boot to allow me to step through the process.  Years ago,
I knew how to do this.

Any idea what the problem might be and what to add to the boot
instructions so that I can get the system up to fix things?

Or some other way to fix things.

This is a bad situation to find myself in, two days before Passover and
lots to do....
