Stuck on boot SLES 15 SP6

1

I have just upgraded on a HPE DL380 Gen10 the SuSE system from SLES 12 SP5 to SLES 15 SP6.
I’ve done an offline upgrade, booting from an USB key created with the 15 SP6 iso image, and selected “Upgrade” from the boot prompt.
Now the system won’t boot, saying “A start job is running for /dev/sda2” indefinitely.
The system is on a HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 - 6.549 TiB, RAID5 Logical Drive 1(Target:379, Lun:0)

Please help.

Thank you

可能在链接网络从网络上下载更新安装包。如果带有 media_upgrade=1 。可能不会出现这样的情况。

Did the upgrade complete?

Are you able to boot from the same USB key into a rescue system and see your storage?

It came out there was an argument given to the kernel at startup, “rescue = /dev/sda2”, that shouldn’t be there since it was pointing to a non-existing disk. A removal of the argument solved the problem.
Thank you

Glad to hear you’ve found and resolved the problem, my guess is that during the upgrade your USB stick was /dev/sda which confused things - all my upgrades have been using virtual media (ISO).
