Hi all,
I need some help please because a pacman -Syu upgrade failed while the kernel was being installed (machine froze), and now cannot find the kernel when booting.
Ok, no problem, I will just boot from a BTRFS snapshot. But what I find is that the snapshot does boot, sort of, but only to a TTY. The problem is that the root partition is mounted read-only from the snapshot.
I searched the forum but no clues in there. I checked the grub entry for the snapshot but it doesn't seem to be instructing it to mount read-only. However every snapshot I've tried does only mount r/o.
Is there a way of changing the settings from live usb or something and telling it to mount as read-write when booting from a snapshot?
I managed to boot into it using a live-usb and chrooted into the install. I finished the pacman -Syu but on rebooting it still says the kernel cannot be found.
Thanks for any help.
