My system will not boot anymore and it says:
Failed to mount /boot
Both my snapshot from 7.1.3-2 and also LTS kernel are working for me. Currently i have to exclude the latest kernel update, so my system does not break. A google search also did not really help me, since its not a similar issue or the solutions do not work (reinstalling the kernel, etc.).
Note: I am using the znver4 versions of the kernel.
Is there an easier way to downgrade to previous kernels? i was lucky to have a 7.1.3 snapshot.
Will this be fixed or do i need to figure this out “by myself” if 7.1.5 or 7.2 still don’t work?
The most likely cause of that is mkinitcpio failure. Boot into LTS and do either sudo limine-update or sudo mkinitcpio -P if on grub and pay attention to the output for the stock kernel mkinitcpio.
same thing happens to me after the kernel update into 7.1 my laptop won’t start after loading initial ramdisk the screen just goes off and pressing any button won’t help to turn it on, so i have to rollback and ignore the kernel update until now.
we need to planning on trying a new distro now!
I’m migrating from windows to avoid the ridiculous update but now the same thing happen here I’m really disappointed!
Ok, after some time i managed to find the root cause, at least this is what i think, since it is now working:
I recently upgraded from a NVIDIA GPU to a AMD GPU and did not properly remove all installed packages. chwd --list was still showing “nvidia-open-dkms” addionally to “amdgpu”. Some boot configurations still had some references to nvidia packages or modules.
As soon as i removed “nvidia-open-dkms” with chwd -r the system did not boot properly anymore, which was confusing to me. But after also removing “amdgpu”, then rebooting and opening the console during the boot pressing “CTRL + ALT + F2” i could then reinstall amdgpu with chwd -a. Just to be sure i did also update the limine.conf and rebuilt limine with limine-update (rebuilding boot entries for grub/systemd should work similar with different commands).
After another reboot everything worked fine and i could finally update to 7.1.4 without issues.
