Bazzite breaks after full update (emergency mode) – need guidance
Hi everyone,
Iâm running Bazzite on an external drive and Iâm hitting a wall. My setup:
Laptop: MSI Katana 15 HX B14WGK-061XPL
CPU: Intel Core i7-14650HX
RAM: 64 GB
GPU: RTX 5070
Drive: WD BLACK D30 1TB (USB 3.2 Gen 2)
I installed Bazzite on the external SSD and the system works perfectly right after installation.
However, once I apply all updates and reboot, the system refuses to start and drops into emergency mode every time.
I donât think the external drive is the issue because Linux Mint and Garuda work normally on it.
Iâm very new to Linux (Iâve always been on Windows), so I would really appreciate step-by-step help.
Please let me know what logs or commands I should provide to diagnose the issue and bring Bazzite back to life.
Mint and Garuda didnât really click for me, but Bazzite gave me a real âwowâ moment, so Iâd love to get this working.
Thanks in advance!
