[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency cconsole

[Fram]

SOLVED! I am using Google Wi-Fi mesh and have configured DHCP to administer addresses. I dug into my router (AT&T) and noticed that its DHCP service was running as well (servicing a different network). I disabled the router service so there are no more conflicting DHCP services/networks seen on the same Ethernet (L1 & L2) network. I then rebooted the Home Assistant machine and get to the ha> prompt and can access via the web GUI.

I have attempted 2 different type of installs on different hardware with the same error. I am using version 6 build 1.

1st try - used a Generic x86-64 image and created an image on a SSD drive. HA loaded many files and stopped at loading the CLI.

2nd try - Installed Windows and used the Oracle VirtualBox installation method. Made propper settings with same CLI not Starting message.

3rd try - Used a different computer (Windows 10) with Oracle Virtual Box installation. Double checked insall setting and resulted iwth same CLI not starting message.

When I get to the # prompt after jump into emergency console, is there some things I can try to do to troubleshoot?

What would you recommend if you were in my shoes? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: My router is picking up the homeassistant MAC address, but no IP. Cant ping, etc. Gut feeling is that some services are not starting?, etc.

To look at this other topic and the mentioned issues there:

CLI not starting on new install

I am running a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. After the update to 6.1 hosed my install, I figured I’d get a fresh build running and restore my data. However, each new boot fails. Everything seems to work fine- no errors pop up on the screen. Eventually it says “Waiting for the Home Assistant CLI to be ready…” which I’d expect. However, after some time a new message comes up on the screen plugged into the Pi: “[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency console…” No number of reboots fixes…

I was getting this error on a clean first-install (Raspberry Pi 400), and it was solved by, um, plugging a network cable in between the RPI and the router.

I also have the same issue on my Pi 3 v2 after an update to 6.1 with the same error: “[WARN] Home Assistant CLI not starting! Jump into emergency console…”. I network via ethernet cable and can see this on my network but the CLI is not running.

I plan to try rolling back the update to see if that helps but this is a breaking update on this platform it seems at the moment.
