Description Dr I J Ormshaw 2015-09-11 10:16:38 UTC

There are two issues causing the default configuration of 2015-08 not to boot correctly, both can be fixed by adding symbolic links in the root file system.

Firstly systemd fails to mount a number of file systems as it is trying to use /usr/bin/mount to mount the file systems, which does not exit.

This causes a number of service to fail preventing access to the system as /usr/sbin/sulogin cannot be found.

To fix the problems the following two symbolic links were created.


/usr/bin/mount -> ../../bin/mount
/usr/sbin/sulogin -> ../../sbin/sulogin
