system trashed after dietpi-update

Troubleshooting
1

Is anyone else having problems after running dietpi-update? My little raspberry pi 3 is toast after running updates last night:

  • DietPi-RAMlog and DietPi-RAMdisk won’t load
  • dependency fail for etc/rc.local Compatability
  • dependency fail for DietPi-boot
  • no dietpi menus (i.e. dietpi-update, dietpi-config, etc)
  • Ethernet no longer recognized

Any help would be appreciated…

Hi,

Anything in service status to indicate why dietpi-boot failed?

systemctl status dietpi-boot -l
3

systemctl status says:

dietpi-boot.services - DietPi-Boot
Loaded: loaded (/etc/system/system/dietpi-boot.services; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

Feb 04 00:23:43 Pi-Server-8 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for DietPi-Boot.

Thanks.

Lets check the service it depends on:

systemctl status dietpi-ramdisk -l

dietpi-ramdisk.service - DietPi-RAMDisk
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/dietpi-ramdisk.service; enabled)
