Wont boot unless running from Recovery

I have been having an issue where when I do a normal boot it will get stuck at a message saying "Waiting for device /dev/disk/by-label/root to appear!" There is much more that is says, I will attach a picture of an error. As of now, the only way for me to boot without issue is with using the recovery option, then it boots and everything works.

Hi,

I got the same issue yesterday night after applying latest firmware update..

Sophos UTM v9 running on an ESXi v5.1
Datastore where the disk resides is on iSCSI

This was running perfectly till yesterday. Today I recreated another instance with the OVF downloaded from Astaro Web site and got the same situation. Rescue boot has the same problem as well.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have the same problem, I made a backup with Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 and recovered it in a virtual machine on VMware Workstation 9. Now I have the same issue. I need to access report data

Hi, Suleyman, and welcome to the User BB!

If you installed the virtual appliance, re-install from the software ISO. Search here for more details.

Nemo, are you saying that you made a backup of a stand-alone UTM, and then now want to restore that to a VM, or that you backed up a VM and now want to restore it?
