in the mounted root of the partition the command used was
tar -czf /mnt/stor/system.gz *
to put the tarball on a NAS.
I can get to the F33 from an f31 install on the same computer, mounted on /mnt/sysimage and doing the binds to /dev, /proc, and /sys followed by
chroot gets me in to look at everything. Everything I look into looks correct. Short of ideas
I have never tried using a tar file to restore. However using tar (both creating and restoring) without using the --selinux parameter won't preserve selinux context.
Have you tried booting after adding "selinux=0" to the linux line in grub?
"selinux=0" works I'll do the .autorelabel
.autorelabel doesn't get everything apparently. From a texmode boot as user, startx for the graphical desktop fails saying it can't find a screen. The ati 5450 has on a minimal xinitrc with no screen paragraphs. However, from root it works.
Put selinux=0 in the kernal command in grub allows user to dos startx but there are I/O problems with the mouse.
All the permissions look as expected
