I setup a sys-usb using

qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb
qubesctl state.highstate

Both in sudo

It reboots to emergency mode

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Steve

I am running qubes off of a flash drive. Could this be causing this?

I just set it up and rebooted. I didn't attach any drive to it yet. And I was not able to boot back into the desktop afterwards.

When you create a sys-usb, by default USB controllers are hidden from
dom0 - since you are trying to boot from a device attached to one of
them, it isn't going to work.
You can remove the rd.qubes.hide_all_usb option from the grub command
and you should then be able to boot.
