Yesterday finally updated/upgraded my gentoo system and averything was all right. Left pc on during the night after xlocking. This morning was not able to login and restarted pc.

Gentoo does not boot anymore! Boot uses systemd and gets stuck at message:

[OK] Started Network Time Syncronization.
[OK] Reached target Containers.
[ 16....] igb ....enp4s0 NIC Link is up ...
You are in emergency mode

at the following link you should be able to see a srennshot of the messages...

Finally, worth to say I dual boot windows 11.

What could have happened tonight -? How to sort booting out again?

am noticing 2 issues:

[*] systemd-journald starts one hour earlier than current time
[*] timedatectl does not work i emergency mode and delivers message:" Failed to connect to bus: File or directory not existing"
[*]hwclock and date commands release times that differ by one hour, unless enter 'hwclock --systohc' and then hwlock is correct
[*]changed regedit in Windows 11 to UTC time
