I did another hard boot and got errors below:
Dependency failed for /medi/pi/HDD2
Dependency failed for /medi/pi/HDD1
I remembered it had two SSD connected previously, found them and connected then another hard boot.
Result: [ 1.702961 mmc1: Controller never released inhibit bit(s).
Raspberry GNU/Linux 11 raspberrypi ttyl
raspberrypi login pi (automatic login)
I don't want o try continuing without assistance please.
Edit: After giving up for maybe 1/2 hour leaving it all connected, I now have a working Raspberry Pi desktop. But I am tired. Will leave it on but it runs like in tar not even mud atm. Thought I might as well use the desktop to reboot before giving up for the night but all I have now is now no video.
Going to make an educated guess here. Guessing ins't something I normally do.
I suspect you have entries for the partitions on those drive in your /etc/fstab. I also suspect that those entries either have the default option or the auto option in them. If that's the case what you're seeing is to be expected.
Either reconnect the drives, remove (or comment out) those fstab entries, or add the nofail option to them.
