Does not start / hangs on start job LSB/Samba

Hi there!

I use my Pi together with Hyperion and yesterday I realized that this didn´t work anymore.
I was lazy and did not turn my TV on but instead connected to it with the Android Kore app and did a restart.
It did restart but Hyperion still did not work as I could tell from the wrong LED lights so I left it as it was.

Now the Pi (Modell B) hangs at startup. It shows the OSMC boot screen and freezes while displaying one of these lines:

(1 of 2) A start job is running for samba server (40s / no limit)
(2 of 2) A start job is running for LSB: start Samba NetBIO nameserver (nmbd) (26 / 5min 1s)

What is this? Hyperion still starts as I can see from the LED. Whats broken??

To get a better understanding of the problem you are experiencing we need more information from you. The best way to get this information is for you to upload some logs. You can learn more about how to submit a useful support request here.

Thanks for your understanding. We hope that we can help you get up and running again shortly.

I don´t think, I can give you more information/logs because the system doesn´t boot full so I can´t access them!?

Well if you can not access via SSH nor Terminal. Not much you can do other than a reinstall

Finally I found time now to look up for this problem…

The Pi is available for ping/ssh for a couple of seconds until it freezes with one of the mentioned messages.
I can still read the SD card so maybe there is something that helps?

I´m pasting just three files here. Maybe something wrong configured?

Did you try to connect by SSH?

Yes. I can connect but only for a few seconds until it freezes

Only option is re-install then.
