      Hi,

      Did the update a week ago and didn't touch the router for a bit.  Today went to go online, no more internet connection!

      I plugged the screen on it and hes going into a reboot loop.  I managed to get a screenshot just before it reboot.

      Any ideas?  No changes were made on the bios, it seems to be a kernel issue, used both kernels available and no joy still

      Thank you

      Edit: single user do works, i can remount the system to read-write operations

        Boot into single user and run /sbin/fsck -y / a few times and see if that fixes it. Don't mount the filesystem first.

          It worked!!

          Last thing i could see before seeing it crashing was something about not being able to lock on a database.
          Anyway its up and running now

          Thank you very much
