Sudden Boot Failure

English Install/Boot/Login
1

So we’re suddenly getting a boot failure message on a SUSE 15 Virtual Machine claiming multiple special devices don’t exist.
This causes the VM to goto the rescue system and we cannot boot into the OS.

I have run blkid and can see the drives, I can even see them in fstab as they have always been.
I have also run the standard check disk tools and when running mount -a returns drives not found.

I also get this message when choosing continue

cannot read /dev/tty1 operation not permitted

Tech who looked at this before and raised it to me says the drive ran out of space but I don’t know how to check this as the sda2 partition wont mount.

Apologies please see SUSE Paste

Judging by that image, it appears to be a problem with “/boot/efi”. Perhaps the file system there is corrupt and needs repair.

I also notice that you mention “SUSE 15”. If your problem is with a SUSE system, and not an openSUSE system, then you probably should be posting to the SUSE forums instead of here.

Thanks for the assistance here, Can i ask how you repair /boot/efi ? I can certainly look to test and see if it resolves the issue.

@captainmatt29,
Why didn’t you answer the question about SUSE 15 vs. openSUSE 15.1?
Please post:

cat /etc/os-release
