Hello,
In the last 3 weeks or so I had 4 issues with booting after having done an update. I always update by opening TTY1, log in as root, use zypper dup, exit and reboot.
The first time it happened I didn't know what to do so I just re-installed, keeping my home partition in tact, making the process of setting things up after the install very quick.
When it happened again I started using the boot menu on the USB stick. I chose More, followed by booting the system. After having answered some questions about type of keyboard and from where to boot, it just booted from hard disk. I then opened Yast and in there the Boot loader section. Didn't see anything strange so I just changed the time before boot and let the system create a new boot system. From then on I could boot normally again.
I looked in the Journal entries through Yast but the only thing which was strange to me was the fact that after the first boot attempt it says: "Journal ended", and 2 seconds later I booted from my USB stick. Well, I can tell you it took much longer than 2 seconds to find and mount the stick, switch off and on the computer again (cause reboot didn't work). But maybe the time was frozen so the clock didn't advance during that time.
When I boot, when it doesn't work, I just see the name GRUB followed by a blinking _ at the top left of a black screen.
Has anyone else experienced this as well? The computer works well now, but I just wonder what it might be that caused it.
