Updating failed midway. System will not boot.

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

 



I had not used my Fedora partition on my old laptop for a few weeks.
Came back to a lot of updates that needed running.   In the midst of
updating, an overlooked intemittent (thermal) hardware problem cropped
up, locking the machine.  I had to hard boot it.

Now, it will not boot correctly.  I can get past the prompt for the
encrypted disks, but as the boot proceeds, there are a ton of errors,
aming the services that fail to start, we have:
power-profiles-daemon, dbus-broker, thermald, abrtd, and various dependencies.

The last two failed lines are:  rtsx_pci VPD access failed, It is
likely a firmware bug on the device. and r8169 0000:04:00.0 Invalid
VPD tag .... assume missing EEPROM.

The hardware (other than intermittent overheating) is OK.  I booted
from a Debian ssd, and it came up just fine, network and all.  (That
also gives me a reasonable way to get data on/off the Fedora disks.)

I can boot to the command-line by specifying "3" from the grub menu,
and I am able to log in, but my attempts to re-run the updates are
stymied by the network not starting.

But I can get in, and I'll be digging into the logs.  Any suggestions
as to where to start?

This system has been going through Fedora updates since 2017 (so
Fedora 26 ish?)  It would be a shame to have to wipe it now, I'd like
to save it if I can.

Thanks,
