login problem after update

[derFroehliche]

Hi

today I made an update using the command "pacman -Syu".
after updating and reboot the pi I can't Login.
The pi ask for Login/Username and I enter "root". Normaly now I enter the password but after some seconds the pi ask again for login/username and not for a password.

Check if you have clean filesystem on sd card. You can use fsck for example to do this.

Ok, I see. It's not a known problem.
but fsck is a linux tool and the only linux computer ist my pi...

I think I will go the easy way without learning and setup the pi completely new...

There was a problem like this I remember a month ago caused by systemd-186, I could only login as root on tty3 or tty4. This was fixed by a contemporary initscripts update. Was the pacman upgrade process interrupted half-way?

I thing no... (i am a beginner)
it runs through

ther is something I can't understand. I always read I have to generate a key
# pacman -key --init
that is clear
the pi generates a key and I have to switch to a second console and making something like this
# ls -R / && ls -R / && ls -R /
what is this??? ls is only to have al look into a direktory...OR?
after this I entered
# pacman -Syu
and
# reboot

Quote from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa ... he_keyring:

For this initialization, entropy is required. Moving your mouse around, pressing random characters at the keyboard or running some disk-based activity (for example in another console running ls -R / or find / -name foo) should generate entropy. If your system does not already have sufficient entropy, this step may take hours; if you actively generate entropy, it will complete much more quickly.
The randomness created is used to set up a keyring (/etc/pacman.d/gnupg) and the GPG signing key of your system.

If you do not have a backup image prior to this upgrade and your installation is fresh, perhaps the easiest way is to start again with the latest image release (13 June, quite old I am afraid). I tend to create an SD card image prior to a system upgrade just in case anything goes wrong. If it does, I revert and upgrade package by package and if appropriate submit a bug report on the failing one.

ok, now it's clear...
i start with a new image
