Endless reboot loop after restoring qubes from R4.0 to R4.1.1 #7883
Comments
More information:
Any idea how is it possible to do in the current situation? |
See https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/autostart-troubleshooting/ how to prevent autostarting VM. |
@marmarek So, I'm investigating the problem further. |
The actual problem of instant reboot was that PCI devices that had been connected on the R4.0 PC were absent on PC that I restored backup on. So, the problem source to my opinion is the approach when connected PCI devices are described and stored in backups only by names like 01:00.0. Why not keep the device string (that we see in I'm closing this issue, because I found out the reason, but I consider the bug to exist, that can lead to such big problems that I have. |
How to file a helpful issue
Qubes OS release
R4.1.1.
Brief summary
I restored qubes backup from other PC with R4.0 and restored on almost clean R4.1.1.
After that I cannot boot Qubes OS due to automatic forced reboot after entering LVM password.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
Qubes OS boots as usual.
Actual behavior
After entering correct password for LVM I have some messages in console for a second, black screen for a second and instant reboot of PC. It's a endless sequence, I cannot boot Qubes OS.
Additional information
The restore process provided 2 errors of setting custom kernels for 2 irrelevant appvms and finished with a success otherwise.
The final restoration message was a message box with green text: "Finished successfully!".
I had a working system after restore, but I had no links in Application menu except Start and Qube Settings, so I decided to reboot it just in case if will be fixed. Reboot was made using Logout menu of Application menu and went normal.
After PC start I got a usual password for LVM prompt, after entering the correct password I had some messages in console for a second, black screen and instant reboot of PC, it always happens now, the system is not bootable.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
