I am trying to install balena OS on my Intel Edison but when I boot the system after flashing I encounter this error:
[FAILED] Failed to start Remount Root and Kernel File Systems.
and the booting stops at
[ OK ] Listening on D-Bus System Message Bus Socket.

Hello there,
thank you for reaching out.
Could you please provide us with the steps you are following?
Like for example, how you are creating the boot media, if you are using an application from the balenaCloud. If you have used that media already for booting other devices.

thank you!

I have downloaded the production Balena OS for Intel Edison from the official download page. I then followed the steps listed here to flash with flashall.sh from Ubuntu to my Intel Edison. That’s all I’ve done.

I wonder if this might occur if the flash had failed somehow. Could you try to re-flash with the same install medium?

Also, the provisioning instructions in our docs [1] https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/getting-started/intel-nuc/nodejs/#provision-device should be used, as the steps you linked are for a more manual process for installing a bootloader and linux on a NUC device.

Cool. The error still shows up but I got the Intel Edison booting up fine and I can see it registered on balena Cloud thanks to the getting started guide. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
