Boots into emergency mode. How to analyze?



Hi,

I'm running unstable / sid. Yesterday, I suddenly started booting into emergency mode and I'm unsure why. I had a hang the day before, right after a apt-get dist-upgrade, so it might be either one of those, or something else altogether.

Booting into emergency mode doesn't help me, as I can neither login without a root password, nor continue to default mode with Ctrl-D because that just throws me back into emergency mode.

I'm rather stuck on how to analyze the situation. I can mount and even chroot into the '/' partition from a live CD (LMDE 2) and even run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, but the boot problem persists. I can also boot with init=/bin/sh, but I don't know what to look for.

Any ideas on what I should try? Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Matthijs Wensveen
