CachyOS vDisk (vtoyboot) not working - alain81 - 05-08-2026
Hi there!
I installed CachyOS in a virtual machine using Hyper-V (with option "generation 2" selected). Then I installed the vtoyboot script (vDisk Boot Plugin --> latest vtoyboot-1.0.36 release) and converted the VHDX file to VHD so it could boot with Ventoy.
The installation boots and runs fine in Hyper-V.
I then renamed the *.vhd file to *.vtoy. At boot, in Ventoy, I selected the correct CachyOS vtoy file, but it does not load and I receive the following error shown below. If I press Enter, after a few moments the same message appears again.
Quote:You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, or "exit" to continue bootup.
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for more details.
Press Enter to continue.
I followed this exact same procedure with Linux Mint and it works correctly in Ventoy, but for some reason CachyOS does not.
Do you have any idea why?
