How to start HA without configuration or with partial configuration via SSH?

Configuration
1

For half a year now I can’t do any updates because HA won’t start then. I can then only get via SSH, make a downgrade to an older version, so that it works again.

Today I wanted to make a fresh installation again, whereby I have again imported configuration and addons from a backup. HA does not come up, no samba. But I can get to the HA via PuTTY, because the SSH plugin somehow seams to work.

ha core check also runs forever, I suspect there is a loop somewhere why the HA never starts. Back in the day when Samba sometimes worked, I could really track that HA starts, writes something to the log, then restarts, and HA starts over again. I had hoped that this might be fixed with some newer version, so that I can upgrade HA again.

Is there a way to start HA only with certain units, for example only with some addons like SSH, Samba, but without the configuration or only with parts of the configuration?

If Samba works, then I can still somehow try to rename some files so that they are not loaded. But I have no idea or experience with SSH.

Here are some logs from ha core logs and from ha supervisor logs. Maybe from this logs it would be possible to get an idea, wich error prevents HA to startup?

after some hours HA GUI was available. I was able to update outdated components.
