RN316 - problems after 6.7.4 - not booting
I upgraded to 6.7.4 a few days ago, and shut the system down a couple days after that. When I tried to reboot, I got "mount_block_root +1f1" error. I found discussion about fixing that with USB re...
Well getting the system into this state is better than not being able to get it to do anything.
Your system booted to a low level diagnostic mode suitable for support.
I have the exact same issue, but I havent gotten it to the diagnostic mode.
Still trying different flash drives, and trying rufus.
I can get it to "booting from external usb" but t seems to hang there, or some drives it will go back to booting then fails.
MacRob, please replace the initrd.gz and kernel on the USB key with these:

Thanks, but still no luck. I tried manually copying the files to the flash drives after usbrecovery (format+install) is done. Then used rufus to format, usbrecovery to install, then manually copy.
Then I put files in x86 folder and let usbrecovery install after formatting with each option.
Then I deleted all of these files, redownloaded and tried all again (thought maybe something was corrupt)
They all still hang at "booting from external usb".
