Hi arch gang, I'm having a problem booting up. It's stuck at this part:
/dev/mapper/main_group-root: clean, 513959/4194304 files, 15089769/16777216 blocks
Before this problem happened, I think I updated my system and packages after a long break.
I'm using bootctl as my bootloader.
Is there a way to show a log of what is happening?
Here's my loader.conf
/boot/loader/loader.conf
default arch
timeout 3
editor 0
Here's what I tried already:
linux and linux-ltsgenfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
full warren
@sand belfry how long do you wait?
