Rebooting stops wih an error

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

It stops rebooting and tries to save the error file rdsosreport.txt but it can’t due to ro file system.

Adding rd.debug to boot cmd didn’t let me to save rdsosreport.txt file in order to attach it here.

Before reboot what is the content of /run/initramfs?

#3

log/ with no contents and .need_shutdown with 0 bytes

#4

OK, you have root on LVM and in this case LVM forces jump back to initrd on shutdown. I briefly tested it (without LVM) and it works as expected. You may try with “rd.break=shutdown rd.shell”. This will stop in initrd shell immediately after jumping into initrd before doing anything. You can then look around (in particular, what is mounted and whether paths are read-write or not). Could you also provide “lsinitrd /boot/initrd” (probably too big to paste here, upload to http://susepaste.org/).

#5

When was TW installed? Is it an upgrade? If yes, from what, and when was that originally installed? What is reported by?:

ls -l /var/run
#6

TW is an upgrade from leap which was an upgrade from OS …

Here is lsinitrd /boot/initrd
and here /var/run

#7

OS which?

Here is lsinitrd /boot/initrd
and here /var/run
That contains the output from ‘ls -l /var/run/’, not the output from ‘ls -l /var/run’. Output from ‘ls -l /var/’ would also suffice.

#8

Probably OS 10.0 which became in time 13.2 then LEAP and not TW

This is what is wrong.

...
drwxr-xr-x  45 root root    1380 Sep 23 09:11 run/
...

It needs to be:

lrwxrwxrwx...run -> /run

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1104235 covers it. Comment 15 there provides a solution.

#10

changing mode to /var/run didn’t helped

here is rdsosreport

#11

What do you mean by change mode? The /var/run directory must be removed and a symlink to /run created as was explained in bug comment 15. This requires a “rescue” boot, since /var/run is always busy while the TW installation is running.

#12

Mode?!? Please show exact commands you used; ideally copy-paste the full commands and their output. Otherwise it is absolutely unclear what you did. Error symptoms match mentioned bug report exactly.

here is rdsosreport

This is too early, sorry, due to rd.shell it stops during boot. If you just Ctrl-D it should continue with booting and then stop during shutdown.

#13

So, this is the solution! You were absolutely right! Thanks!

After rescue booting


cd /var
ln -s ../run -> /var/run
