Description Jan Pihlgren 2017-08-10 06:49:22 CEST

Description of problem:
When I start Mageia 6, kernel-desktop-4.9.40-1.mga6 
I first get a jumping dot. Then I come to a terminal screen with the text 
Booting the kernel.
Welcom to emergency mode
...
Give root-password to login

I give the root-password 
Then I get the the root prompt

I write  startx
I get a red screen
I triyd to do a network connection that failed.
Then I tried to open MCC - failed

Then I get back to Mageia 6 kernel-desktop-4.4.74-1.mga5
Start succeeded.


Earlier I also tried with kernel-desktop 4.9.35-1.mga6 wich also failed in the same way.

remove "splash quiet" from kernel command line so you can hopefully catch some useful messages why it fails with 4.9 series kernels

This is some information that maybe of interest:

A start job is running for dev-mmcblk0p1.device
------------
tpm tpm0: ATPM error (6) occured atempting to read per value
------------
Failed to start Load legacy module configuration

======================

Then back to emergency mode

I think that the problem is solved.
I had a 16GB SD-card in the cardreader during the boot (mounts automatic).
I removed the card, even from automount.
Now the computer boot as normal, with kernel 4.9.40
I'm now a happy man. ;)
