StartOS does not boot after upgrade to 0.4.0-beta.7

Did the upgrade from 0.3.5.1 to 0.4.0 beta 7 today, followed all instructions according to Update to StartOS 0.4.0 - StartOS (except for setting SSH key)

I saw the migrations success / complete message (matrix animation) and downloaded the “StartOS-info.html” file and pressed restart. I noticed that I could not reach the server so I connected it to a display to see where its getting stuck.

I see the StartOS boot screen and after a while its getting stuck while showing this message:

“Not activating Mandatory Access Control as /sbin/tomoyo-init does not exist”

Here is my server setup:

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 Mini PC
  • Core i5-6500
  • 32GB RAM
  • startos-0.4.0-beta.7-50df139_x86_64-nonfree.iso

Quick update..

I kept the server running overnight and this morning I tried to open the web interface and to my surprise the login screen showed up.. I saw a similar post here mentioning the same.

Will continue the rest of the steps and return with an update afterwards.

Yes, patience is the way to go when updating from StartOS 0351 to StartOS 040.

Depending on how much data you have, it could take many hours to finish. Just let it do it´s thing and all will be fine.
