8.28 peinit.recovery.entered

  • Event type: peinit.recovery.entered
  • Defined in: peinit.evman
  • Tier: essential
  • Gating: none
  • Cardinality: once, when peinit gives up on the boot and starts the recovery shell

peinit dropped the machine to a recovery shell, for the reason in outcome.reason. Written before the registry or eventd may exist, into the ring, which is where the record of a boot that failed this early survives. Essential because it is rare and means the machine did not boot.

Formerly recovery.entered.

outcome.detailstroptionalWhat went wrong, in the error's own words, such as peinit is missing required privilege(s): SeAuditPrivilege. Absent for forced-by-kernel-command-line, which has nothing to add, and for phase2, whose findings are their own peinit.graph.validation.failed records.

Every record also carries the header fields of the envelope, which no payload repeats.
