OK at this point you're running into the GPT-swap commonbugs so you might go read all of that to see what applies to your situation. You can ignored the swap thing or you can # it out in fstab, systemd still activates it based on partitiontypeGUID.

Argh. Well your last sentence explains why it works once running. Will eventually look into this.


The process to create a user in the 'firstboot' environment did not allow for tagging the user to be an adminstrator.  How do I do that?
No idea I don't ever use g-i-s, I give root and user their passwords in the installer.

g-i-s? I also gave them their passwords in the installer, but appearently that got loss with the install failure.


More importantly, once I got logged into the system, I have no idea what it set the root password to.  Definitely not what I provided, nor <null>.  'su -' with all sorts of tries never got me into root.
Maybe you used one keyboard layout in the installer and you've booted with a different layout? That's all I can think of and can't help with it because I've only ever used default (U.S.) keyboard installs.

Same.  I *THINK* on firstboot, I got the keyboard selection right.


So how do I change the root password (hmm did it even create a root user?)?
OK that's a bit of first day at the rodeo questions now! Pretty sure you can go back to the chroot and set a new passwd for root and user if you can't remember them.

Got notes here somewhere on how to do this. Now that you point it out to me.


I would like to upload those firstboot messages, if you think they tell anything (like the swap drive fail), but are they in /var/log/messages any longer, and of course I need root to get to them (though I could probably mount that drive here and check).
journalctl -xb | grep -i swap

Once I get things working. Not a time to try booting with the SSD and getting it working. My wife wants me to make some more music CDs and do some recordings backups. And we know about working in the honeydo patch!
