my system is encrypted

i tried to boot with system v, i get the timeout about uuid but i can connect to my home partition…

is there a way to repair the system to avoir this timeout?

all the log info is available when i boot in the console (ctrl alt f1), i tried to find this info in /var/log/system without sucess…
where system store this information?

thanks

LVM, encryption, btrfs… I hope you have a backup.

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

my home partition is dm1

if i check my uuid in fstab and the value i got before, uuid is not the same…

so i bet i need to put this value: a4760139-a7bf-49e2-a0a0-f6ce7e867268
in the fstab?

Strange.

If you want, you can try the development systemd packages, they solve
several problems.

If I understand you correctly, with systemv it goes to “/var/log/boot.msg”,
and with systemd it goes to “/var/log/messages”.
