HAOS won't boot after attempting to update

I’ve read through a few posts on this but can’t seem to get mine to work.

I tried updating to 14.2 on my RPI5 from 13.2, and now it’s stuck in an infinite loop. The biggest problem is, all my backups are on the SD card as I haven’t had a chance to work out how to setup backups off the device :frowning:

Here’s what I’m getting on my screens




Any help to troubleshoot this and point me in the right direction would be much appreciated! I’m hoping like mad it’s not a corrupt SD card that I’ll have to start from scratch again as I’ve had this running for over a year now :frowning:

It doesn’t seem to have completed the upgrade as I see there’s a message saying welcome to 13.2 still.

I have tried removing all peripherals and only having my mouse, keyboard, and HDMI attached, but no matter what keyboard combination I press, I can’t take control of what’s happening.

Thankfully, I was able to use DiskInternals Linux Reader to recover backups from my system and restore that on a new install on an SSD and I’m back up and running! The card was fine, just the system install was corrupt.
