Some system upgrades with reboot make OS fail to boot correctly... and does not recognize password.

[Fabien Aurejac]

Hello, here with a Radxa Rock 5 ITX I experience endless loading at reboot after some system upgrades... But not always. Am I doing something wrong by using the command reboot from ssh ? instead of shutdown and power up ?

In that case the system loads to rescue mode, asking for the root password and even if entered correctly does not identify. All comes back to working state with a shutdown and a reboot.

We had the case on various boards over a couple of years that sometimes warm reboots fail. Since the reason is always individual, hard to tell by heart.

 

Anyway I suggest to extract proper logs from debug uart console. If you don't know what I am talking about: https://debug.armbian.de
