Re: Errors scrolling on boot

[James Allsopp <jamesaallsopp@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I found dmesg -D which stopped the errors scrolling but I can't find the problem in the logs, or why it's not booting further. Would not having these firmwares installed prevent the boot continuing? I'd understand that I wouldn't have any wireless, but I've a very old usb dongle that will work.

The problem I have is that I also have var mounted as zfs, but that's not mounting properly and I can't tell whether it's the upgrade stopping zfs working or the firmwares stopping the boot before then.

dmesg isn't that informative and neither is journalctl -xe, unfortunately I can't copy either.

Thanks

James

That sounds like an Intel wifi adapter. You may want the firmware
package firmware-iwlwifi.
