Hi, which version of the firmware-atheros package did you install ? Was
the installation successful, no error messages ?
When the boot sequence gets stuck, when exactly does it happen, what do
you see on the screen ? If you crashed the system a few times, the
file-system may need to be checked, did you see any message mentioning
"fsck" or file-system check ?
Nota: you can answer back to the list only, I am subscribed.
Hi,
I installed the same version you have mentioned.
firmware-atheros_20190502-1_all.deb
I did not see any error messages.
I am attaching the screenshots
It stucks after "Started D-bug system Message bus" only if i boot via recovery mode.
I don't see any clear messages when boot through normal mode, but it does not continue. (at the very beginning stage).
I dont think of "file-system" problem because it runs fine until firmware-atheros is installed.
Also i have run the the memory test and check everything is fine.
