I’m new here, so sorry in advance.
My system keeps booting in emergency mode with this error:
“Timed out waiting for device dev-nvme0n1p2.device - /dev/nvme0n1p2”
I’m running Fedora 43 KDE Plasma.
I don’t know why I keep getting this error, but it seemed to show up without fail after I tried switching to the Trinity Desktop Environment, following the installation instructions exactly, even after I gave up and reenabled SDDM.
Hi.
Assuming you can eventually get this machine to boot, post the output of inxi -Fzxx (use text formatting via the </> button in this dialog box - makes the layout and formatting much easier to read) and the output of lsblk -f, again, as preformatted text.
If you can only get to an emergency screen, a phone picture will suffice of the lsblk output, it’s the more important of the two piece of output.
OK, this is what I got:

OK.
Check for an updated BIOS on the ASRock site - yours is from 2022 which is not terrible but it’s getting on for 3.5 years old now.
Check the smartctl stats for that drive and partition sudo smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1p2
Boot from a live USB again and run a fsck on that drive - fsck.ext4 -f /dev/nvme0n1p2. This won’t fix any issues, but it will let us know that something is up with it.
Cant hurt to check for updated firmware on the connected devices - fwupdmgr refresh --force && fwupdmgr update
Let us know if any of that turned up anything interesting, or terrible.
