Boot problem after update. "load kernel first"

Issues & Assistance
1

Hi all,
After updating on 22/11/22 I can't boot normally. The error I get is:

error: file '/@/boot/vmlinuz-linux-zen' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

I can boot into the pre update snapshot (using it to now), and I have restored this image, but on reboot I get the same outcome.
I have tried booting and restoring earlier images but get the same outcome.
Tried booting this image and, successfully, ran garuda-update, but same outcome on reboot.
Also tried grub-mkconfig but same outcome.

In /boot/ I have a file: vmlinuz-linux-zen

and my /boot/grub/grub.cfg is:

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#

I have searched around and found few similar issues, and I have tried those solutions, but nothing has worked. I am stumpted.

Hopefully I have posted this correctly. Let me know what other info is needed. [please be gentle]

Thanks in advance.

So, as I understand so far, you have a timeshift snapshot that you tried to restore right? And after restoring said timeshift snapshot, you still can't boot? The update process you had running got interrupted in some way, that's why this issue happened. The goal is to get you restored to the version before the snapshot so you can properly finish the update, and then maybe switch you over to snapper for more reliable snapshots, if you would want that.

4

Yes, I am using the pre update snapshot right now. I have tried restoring it, but it still fails to boot with the same error. Should I go back further? I guess I might loose some data though?
My internet is unreliable, so as you suggest, the update might have been interrupted.

5

Would you please be so kind and post the below info?

Start a terminal, write the bellow commands, and press Enter after each line. Then copy all text (input and output) and paste it in your next post, here.

grub-editenv list
grep -E "^GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT|^GRUB_DEFAULT" /etc/default/grub

Was that gentle enough :joy:

Not much here either...

LOL I've been flamed in enough forums to fear the worst :kissing_heart:

Potentially inaccurate information hidden by moderator

You may simply try to boot the Garuda live USB and run Garuda Boot Repair if you have not done this yet.

You also may try this:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/grub-fails-after-update/78/3

This tutorials might help if the steps shown in the link above are not detailed enough. Boot the Garuda Live USB and follow the tutorial. I had bookmarked these because my problem about a year ago was solved by following these steps:

Chroot for EFI systems
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/arch-chroot-for-efi-uefi-systems/2021/03/

Repair non booting GRUB:
https://discovery.endeavouros.com/system-rescue/repair-a-non-booting-grub/2021/03/
Be sure to use the steps in the Repair GRUB on EFI/UEFI systems section!

I'm saddened to see timeshift failing here, but I don't use it so I have no advice on fixing it. If you can, the steps to fix this issue are the following:

  1. Boot your live USB stick normally
  2. Press "chroot" on the welcome menu
  3. Type update remote fullfix into the terminal (this reinstalls all packages in case some of them are broken from the issues you encountered)
  4. Type update-grub

That should do it. Please let me know if that works, thank you.

9

Thanks for your input, I'll start making a live stick now.....

In the meantime i have booted into an earlier snapshot (thru Grub), and then restored that snapshot using the wizard that appeared after it detected a snapshot was being used. After that the reboot worked perfectly without error :smiley: But then the wizard appeared telling me I'm running a snapshot :face_with_raised_eyebrow: If that didn't happen I'd call this fixed and start an update-garuda. Is there a way lock-in this restored image, with working grub?

Cheers, that's exactly what I've just done, the only problem is the Timeshift wizards still reappears at boot up.

I' m trying TNE's advice from step 3:

my internet is sloooow so this could take hours. Hopefully fixing the packages and updating grub will fix things and give me an up-to-date system.

12

Damn it. After almost 3 hours the update failed as some files couldn't be retrieved:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

So I'm trying Update without the extra parms to save re-downloading everything.

Hopefully these notes will help anyone else with poor internet if they have to re-install every package.

OK it's finished with 'System updated! :penguin:' so now to

and reboot.

13

Damn it. Reboot was fine but Timeshift wizard :mage: immediately appeared. Any idea how to stop that?

Sorry I went off script but I figured restoring a snapshot was equivalent of chrooting. Idiot me. Hopefully this is just a timeshift fix now?

14

I've tried making a new snapshot (of this restored working instance) and rebooting, but same outcome (boot fine, then wizard). To be fair, the top grub boot string includes 'snapshot' so I don't think restoring the prior snapshot has done anything, it's just locked things into snapshot land.

What does restoring a timeshift actually do (BTRF rollback?) ? And how does that mess with Grub?

Cheers for any help.

15

Finally I have made a live stick, chrooted, and done an update-grub. Now I have a working system again with no wizard appearing.

For some reason, my system is ancient! It doesn't have the update command, nor update-grub. I'm trying

pacmac -Syu

but I'm stuck in dependency hell. Many keys are failing to download so the transaction keeps failing. I'm following the instructions in the tutorial but without keys I think I'm at a dead end. I'm sure Nico Jensch is a great fella, but I wish I could get his key on my keyring :rage:

Is there an easy way to reinstall from the live stick without loosing my data?

Must be

sudo pacman -Syu

Simple use

Sorry, you are right, that was a typo and I'll correct it to make it clearer.

Unfortunatly my system is missing update and garuda-update commands. When I try to install them, or pacman -Syu it fails due to missing keys :rage:

Strange thing is, I've been here before:

The best way to get help is posting full terminal input and output.

work?

After running:

sudo bash -c ". <(wget -qO- https://gitlab.com/garuda-linux/themes-and-settings/settings/garuda-common-settings/-/snippets/2147440/raw/main/remote-update)"

I now have update and garuda-update installed. :smile:

Unfortunately when I run them (and pacman -Syu) it's failing due to conflict between sweet-theme-full-git and sweet-gtk-theme-dark :rage:

Thanks for your ongoing support. I think things are progressing.
