Logged in after failed boot. |

/home & /boot are mounted, but nothing in them when I ls. |
| 3 |
ls of / shows all the normal things there. |

While logged in, I'm still getting boot messages, where USB devices, |
| 6 |
eg the mouse, disconnect and reconnect. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
There are a ridiculous number of sd devices in /dev. sda, sdb, sdc, |
| 9 |
sdd all go to 15. sda is the hard drive, sdb/sdc for USB devices. |
| 10 |
Never had sdd. |

Did see some errors, notably "cannot mount /run" bad superblock or |
| 13 |
something like that. Its hard to scroll back with USB messages |
| 14 |
constantly appearing, half a screenful each time. |
