In order to resize my boot partition I had to recreate my swap partition. After this systemd does not seem to be able to start.

screenshot of boot

I am new to Fedora/systemd and don't quite understand where I could tell systemd to ignore the now different UUID of the partition.

What I already did is booting a RescueCD, chrooting into my system, commenting the appropriate line in /etc/crypttab and then recreating the initrd with dracut --force --kver 3.14.3-200.fc20.x86_64

The screenshot shows the situation after these steps. How do I get my system to boot properly again?

  • Did you change the UUID of the partition in /etc/fstab? Commented May 13, 2014 at 16:47
  • I just did (commented the line) and recreated the initrd and the problem remains. It still says "Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-b4b596..." Commented May 13, 2014 at 17:04
  • It was the kernel boot option. It contained the swap partition as a hardcoded parameter. Commented May 13, 2014 at 20:32

I didn't realize that boot menu entries in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg contained hardcoded parameters for swap partitions. One of them was rd.luks.uuid=luks-b4b59673-e85b-4529-840f-a9843a27a121 which corresponds to the old swap partition.

To properly boot I had to press e in the grub boot menu and then to manually remove the parameter from the line starting with linux. Then this modified menu entry can be booted by pressing F10.

After successful boot I edited /etc/default/grub and removed the parameters. Then I updated the grub configuration with # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.

Also don't forget to adjust /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab.
