Emergency mode after hostname change

[olev]

Hi!
I tried to change hostname and got emergency mode.
I modifed /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.
Can someone help me?
Thank you!

I am about 99% sure that the change you think caused this problem is not the cause. There is nothing dependent on the hostname that would cause you to drop to emergency mode.

The usual cause of this is something in /etc/fstab is not mountable and does not have the "fail" attribute specified.

Thanks for the answer!
I thought so too..
But when I return the original copies of the files /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts - boot ok.

Show us the changed files.

Hostname:
winhost.workgroup

hosts:
127.0.0.1 winhost winhost.workgroup winhost4 winhost4.workgroup4
::1 winhost winhost.workgroup winhost6 winhost6.workgroup6

I tried different names in same logic - I got emergency mode in any case.

Please tell me how to see the boot logs in the emergency mode, where should be the reason for switching to the emergency mode?

[TrevorH]

You need localhost on the 127.0.0.1 line. So if myou want your names to be resolved to 127.0.0.1 then you need to add them to the existing names.

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
