I have Opensuse 12.3 installed on HDD and Windows 8 on SSD. The problem is that Opensuse boots in emergency mode and I have to manually mount ssd drive to continue booting Suse. The error in the log is “Timed out waiting for device”. I tried to remove the SSD from fstab, but didn’t solve the problem. Could anyone help me?
Odd whats the boot order?
The output posted here of a few terminal commands might allow us to help:
su -
fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
df
find /dev/disk/by-id/ | grep -e "ata" -e "usb"
I would post them inside of a code # block just as I have done above.
Thank You,
Here are the outputs for the commands you requested:

Thank you for your replies!
Delete the first line. You do not have second partition on this drive and it is wrong to have the same mount point listed twice anyway.
Sounds to me like you’re actually experiencing 2 separate problems.
The others have been helping you to clean up your partitions, but I doubt that those issues likely forced you into emergency mode.
Once you’ve cleaned up your partitions and if you still aren’t booting into normal mode, if you post on those issues you’ll need to describe what your graphics chip is (eg radeon, nvidia, intel, etc with full model name).
You can also see whether the symptoms match what is described here and try some troubleshooting

HTH,

Deleting that duplicate entry in /etc/fstab seems to have done the trick. It rebooted normally. I don’t know how that duplicate entry was entered in fstab. Thank you very much for your replies and help.
You must have don it when setting up partitions. About the only way it could happen.
