Error while booting _without_ certain usb stick

English Install/Boot/Login
1

:dont-know:

openSuse is installed on a fixed disk.

I tried to boot from an USB stick to update the bios, but however, did not work.

Removed usb stick, changed in bios boot priority to the fixed disk as first priority and booted openSuse. The boot process runs, mounts /home, but afterwards tries to mount the usb stick, which isn’t there. Boot messages say, something like xxx-process (device and number, seems the USB stick) running and after 1 minute and 30 seconds boot stops with an error. I can type the root pw then and then startx and KDE runs.

If I boot with this usb stick inserted (boot from fixed disk, not from USB!), all is well, I can login as user.

How do I get rid of the idea of my sytem to need this usb stick?

Regards,

Alexander

Check /etc/fstab and remove the line for the usb stick. You’ll need root privileges for that, of course.

YES!

Thank you!
