Interrupt the boot process and change the boot parameters to add rd.break=cleanup. 2. Boot. You'll be prompted to decrypt disks and then drop to shell. The root filesystem will be mounted ro at /sysroot. 3. umount /sysroot. Mount it rw somewhere else (e.g /mnt - you'll have to create that) 4. mkdir /mnt 5. mount /dev/mapper/blah /mnt 6. cd /mnt/var/lib/qubes/servicevms 7. mv sys-usb sys-usb.bak 8. umount /mnt
Remount /dev/mapper/blah on /sysroot 9. mount /dev/mapper/blah /sysroot 10. exit exit from the rescue shell The system should then continue to boot - sys-usb wont be able to start. Once up, 'mv sys-usb.bak sys-usb', and then fix whatever issue is causing the crash, or remove the qube and recreate it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
