Can't boot into OS after update
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi. Yesterday I updated Solus and after reboot I couldn't boot into OS anymore. I can't mount USB drive to copy and show you a log file, instead I'm attaching two print-screens if you can tell by photos what is the problem.

When booting, computer stuck at this screen below.

After a while, I get this dracut prompt.

Looks like your HDD is gone?

It says: "systemctl daemon-reload" is recommended. Try type that.

Like you said, my HDD is gone :(
Thanks for your help.

Nothing really to do with "HDD being gone". This has to do with your initramfs not being generated, which typically occurs when you've done an incomplete update. You can generate this by chrooting in via a live ISO (instructions here, just ignore the GRUB bits, and cd into /boot inside the chroot and run sudo dracut --kver kernelversion, where kernelversion is whatever the latest kernel version on your system is, which should be obvious in /boot.
