Description of problem: I have 2 USB memory sticks. Mageia 4.0 loads perfectly well while the 2 memory sticks are attached to USB ports. If I remove them, Mageia will not reach the login prompt and drops out to a text prompt, asking me to enter my root password and enter journalctl -xb to view system logs. If I reattach my memory sticks, Mageia will load successfully. This is only a problem with Mageia. All of my other linux distributions, and I have a lot of the main ones installed, are not affected by this issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia 4.0 How reproducible: This might be reproducible on other installations by removing any mounted USB sticks and trying to reboot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
As I understand it, you need to add "nofail" to the list of options for the entries for those devices in the /etc/fstab file.

Or better remove them. You should not add mount points for removable media to your /etc/fstab

Thanks for your comments and quick response. I've commented out the entries for the 2 USB sticks in my /etc/fstab as you've suggested and Mageia now loads fine. From what I've seen of Mageia 4.0 so far I'm very impressed. It looks very professional. Peter
